Soon enough, the jug was empty, and the bowl would stop being refilled. Probably just the right time too, as the vet eyed the way the lion's belly grew. Lions were big cats, they could drink a fair bit, but cider wasn't usually on the menu for them. Chuy mentally shrugged. It was a matter of doing the best he could with the tools he had available - and he'd managed to get a delirious lion who had a negative view on water to drink a substance that was mostly water, hadn't he?
[say]"It was my family farm,"[/say] he clarified on the we, shaking his head slightly - he'd been surprised at the hacking laugh the lion had made at him, still very aware that there was a big cat with very big teeth and claws very near to him. [say]"We had some chickens, but we didn't farm them. Nothing beats fresh eggs for breakfast."[/say] He didn't comment on whether they were stupid or not - he honestly didn't think any creature, human or animal, to be truly stupid. Certainly, people and animals were capable of doing stupid things… but that was a whole other train of thought.
[say]"They suited the land we had best, and were always in need, easy to sell for meat, or wool for the sheep."[/say] It had been that way for generations, enduring drought and flood and thriving in the good times to support the family for more generations to come.
