[Despite the steady roar of the falls blanketing his den, he's able to sleep soundly within it. The echoes kept the outside world out and the water kept his treasures and warmth within. Dark in the den, only permitting what light made it through the falls and managed to rebound off the damp walls. But even through that, he can still hear. And he'd know if something were to happen to a certain someone out there on the shores.
At least true to his word, nothing bothered the smaller dragon on the shore. Everything in the territory that might come close knew what lay behind the waterfall and definitely had no desire to go walking around the shoreline. Heck, Ven was probably considered "insane" for sleeping there if anything had a say about it. But morning comes without issue and the sun rises, causing the lagoon to sparkle from the light filtered through the clouds.
Riku's awake about halfway through sunrise, uncurling from within the shadows of the cavern. His eyes open, gazing out into the glowing circle that is the opening of the den behind the falls. He's got a little bit of tunnel between the falls and his actual resting place; helped keep the moisture down in the cave. Rising to his feet, he takes a brief run and a second later, and ebony torpedo breaks through the falls and vanishes into the lagoon.]
