Truth be told, Number Nine himself had only very recently become used to the fact that he was living so near to the ocean. Back in his old home, he had become incredibly used to being in a mostly landlocked territory, and even when he had been living with Lewis, they had their own little home in the middle of the woods. So, living directly on the edge of where land met sea was pretty new and exciting, even if it just meant that the jaguar had a bit of a better view. Despite this, he had never become tempted to try drinking any of the water that was plentiful from the ocean. For one thing, he knew that it was a salty mess, and he didn't want to dehydrate himself. For another thing, he didn't want to make himself sick by ingesting too much of it, since ingesting too much water at all could make one feel sick, but that was especially true of saltwater. It was because of this that Nine didn't really feel any remorse over laughing at Dovah, even if his laughter wasn't actually mean spirited. It was just a bit of snickering as he came to a landing nearby, his paws sinking into the sand as he shook his head from side to side.
The others were certainly right about the water that Dovah had chosen to ingest, but Number Nine decided to offer up his own knowledge, gathered from his time as a bounty hunter, "Like Rhine said, those two are definitely right about seawater not being great for quenching your thirst. Although, you can drink it sometimes. It's just a big complicated process, involving a lot of boiling the water and straining it. Hardly worth it, especially since we're got a freshwater river near the edge of the forest. That'll quench your thirst much better, I promise." Number Nine had actually gone through the process of making seawater into drinkable water once or twice, but it was hardly fun. It took a bunch of extra resources to do, not to mention the fact that you ended up with far less actual water at the end than you would be expecting. Needless to say, Nine had made a habit of packing a water canteen with him whenever he went on hunts after that, not wanting to have to deal with gathering and purifying his own water anymore.
