@&#&$It would be laughable to claim the drug made him any smarter, but any statement that his abstract or creative thinking got a jump start would hold a grain of truth. Anselm's thoughts always sort of jumped around from subject to subject, but under the influence of this particular drug they were slightly more tangential, less completely random. Here he pondered how regrettable it was that so many of the bottles he'd found were sized at two litres or less, and as he watched the last drops of sparkling, clear liquid disappear down her throat, an idea struck him out of the blue. His mind went back to months ago--nay, over a year--when he'd played cat and mouse with a nameless wolf in an old office building. This had been long before he held any ambitions to integrate with "modern" life, using tools and keeping a garage and so forth. At the end of one dark corridor was a water cooler, an upright structure with a massive inverted jug on top.
@&#&$Such a thing would weigh on the order of a small wolf when filled to capacity, but he'd picked up on the concept of a "wheel" long ago and even had a couple old dollies stashed out back from his previous exploits. Obviously the cooler would not cool with no electricity to power it, but the actual dispense mechanism was gravity fed and valve controlled--he would have his own water dispenser! It would be so much easier to refill it every month or so, rather than having to gather up all the bottles and take them down to the stream every third visit to the garage. He was so overjoyed by this "discovery" that he found himself beaming like a madman, almost forgetting that he still had company. That was, of course, until Savina rolled her head over to look at him with a Cheshire grin of her own.

@&#&$Here he could not help but bust out laughing; she looked completely ridiculous (in the least offensive way possible, of course). "Oh, I'm glad too!" he exclaimed through the crazed laughter that bordered on hyperventilation. All of this from a friend's smile and a damn water jug. "You have no idea how awesome of an idea you just gave me," he managed once he caught his breath, oblivious to the fact she might be confused over such a statement. She hadn't done anything, really, but take a drink of water. Maybe it wasn't quite on par with the level of depth behind her own sentiment, but maybe that was the beauty of it.
