The Golden Beast clearly understood her intentions and unceremoniously walked over to the wooden basin, taking a hearty drink. The woods were filled with the sound of its gulping water.
The large basin of water quickly emptied, and the Golden Beast seemed satisfied, squinting its golden pupils and sticking out its rough tongue to lick at the blood-drenched wound on its abdomen.
