Ru'el loves the freedom to run wild in wide open spaces, experience something new every day and always finds something to learn about the next plant, animal or natural event! He even loves the dark and the noises + mystery that nightlife brings. If he could live in a treehouse in the forest, I'm sure he would be the happiest he could be.
Rue loves water, so naturally, being a boy, loves killer whales because they seem gentle but no-one sees the attack coming... he plays with killer whales in the bath as long as we let him.
Swimming... especially in lakes - of course on crystal clear summer days, but he even loves a good ice dip under the right conditions. Of course along with that, him and his dad go fishing often and even though he is full of energy, it's the one thing he can sit for hours and do just for the satisfaction of catching and experiencing the next lil fishy in his hands.
