<3!
If he hadn't known by observation that she had not partaken the water in the lake it was obvious from her calm reaction to his words that she had not. That would have been rather unfortunate for her. He truly did not know whether or not the water would be toxic, but for any poor creature that had unknowingly drank from the lake and then found out it might be deadly...well, that would be a most uncomfortable situation for them. Onus preferred collecting water and then boiling it to kill whatever harmful products might be in it. Of course that was not always possible, but as he had been staying here for many moons he kept a good supply of clean, bottled water in his apartment in the city. Both for drinking and cleaning wounds if it were needed.
At the slight inclination of Kaena's head he responded with a nod of his own. A respectful creature she was, at least when it came to those of coyote blood. He knew that none in Inferni took very kindly to their larger cousins, so it was easy to discern that his heritage was what had gained her civility. That was all well and good with him. Onus did not enjoy fighting over petty things such as DNA. When he fought, he fought for the cause of justice and liked to avoid any other scuffle. Such encounters were simply distractions and did nothing to further his mission. In these situations he preferred to use words instead of tooth and claw. A fighter he may be, but he understood when vocabulary was more useful than force.
One large ear swiveled to take in her question. Was it not obvious? Though he supposed his clothing did little to help her figure it out on her own. Plus, if most around here were of mixed blood it would be hard to know for certain. "Yes." The vigilante said nothing else, for he saw nothing else to say. She had asked if he were a coyote and he was. As far as he was concerned there was nothing else to add to that simple answer. Surely if she had more questions she would ask them.
