"That's sweet of you. We brought our own, but I think they might fight me for yours. Ours isn't cold anymore." Hana hopped to her feet and accepted the water gratefully. With her other hand, she made a quick hand sign toward the dogs. Anyone who treated her dogs well was okay by Hana, and the offer got Adela on her good side right off the bat.

"I'm Hana, and these are the Haimaru triplets." All three dogs, now sitting upright and attentive, nodded their own greetings to Adela, one of them softly woofing hello as well.

Hana took a few sips herself, then raised her eyebrows at the triplets. They surrounded her in a semicircle waiting for their own shares, which she poured into their open mouths. A few sips apiece of the cold water, and then she and the dogs could stay hydrated with what Hana brought. There was no reason to deprive Adela of supplies.
