Redtail Rise I'm with you

Swimming closer and closer to his new claim, he waited with excited anticipation to feel the wake of Saena's splash behind him.  But other than the rush of the waterfall, the pool remained still... that is, until he felt a weak splash behind him from Saena entering the water from a considerably lower height; not that he minded that she took the easy way out. As long as she was there with him, that sort of thing didn't matter.  

He pulled himself through the falling water with Saena nipping at his heel in hot pursuit, and onto the damp, rocky surface of the cavern in a tired slump. The work it took to get there was well worth it, the view was breathtaking.  In comparison to his old hole in the ridge, it was so much larger; more than enough room for him... and Saena, if that's what she would choose. It was private and secluded, the waterfall would be their own little oasis to share.  He spread out beside one of the rocky walls and laid down invitingly, hoping that Saena would take her place beside him.  

He was quite happy that she shared the same sentiment about their his new home, giving him more confidence to ask her if she would accompany him there... permanently. "A king, eh?  I like the sound of that... All regal and stuff," he thought aloud with a playful expression.  "But, only if you'll be the Queen to my King and rule from this castle with me."
