Greatwater Lake fish out of water

Beau emerged from the water lacking any sort of grace, a mallard hanging from his jaws alluding to a succesful escapade. He was surprised to see another had appeared in his time underwater, freezing to stare for a brief moment before exiting the lake.

For the sake of being polite, he resisted shaking the water from his fur while the stranger was in range for rogue droplets. When'd you get here? He asked, half muffled before spitting the duck onto the ground.
