His ears twitched upon his head, uncertain as to whether or not that had been the case, but if she wasn't going to make a big fuss about it, neither would he. She seemed like a proud wolf, or at least someone who wasn't so quick to complain unless she had to. Admirable, but stubborn. He recognized it if only because he was much the same way too.

Kero submerged, swimming beneath the surface for a while before he filled his lungs with air and attempted to float upon the surface. He lingered, unmoving save for a few paddles here and there in which he used to stay afloat. He liked this place. He liked that it was out of the way and simple. He liked the company too.

After a while, Kero pulled himself out of the pool on the side where they'd first entered. He shook out his pelt for a moment before glancing back at the female still swimming off their earlier entertainment. "I think I'm gonna go sun for a bit. Dry off. You're welcome to join whenever you're done there." But no obligations. He lingered for a bit, awaiting a reply before he moved back towards the mouth of the cave and hopped up on a rock to laze within the sun's rays.
