Greatwater Lake On Top of the World

oop, my first post - am i doing this right?

As most things in life, all good things had to come to an end. With a great huff, the dark male lifted his body off the rocky lake bed and began wadding out from the water, seemingly reluctant to leave the cool abyss behind. He had made it a habit over the last couple of days to relax at the water's edge and let the lake water cool his hot coat from the summer heat. Not only that, but it felt great on his joints when he allowed his body to float effortlessly above the small laps of waves. 

Now, however, he was bearing the additional weight of water which had soaked its way into his black fur, making it hard not to drag his feet as he exited the oasis. With two great shakes, Kitaro flicked the liquid off from snout to tail, spraying whatever lay in close proximity. If it weren't for his slight ting of hunger, he would've stayed in the water until nightfall and gone on his hunt after dark, but it seemed like his stomach yearned for a snack. How irritating. He wasn't a fan of finding prey in the daytime, seeing as his black coat was the opposite of camouflage in the sun. Maybe he could try his luck in the nearby forest. Letting out a sigh, he began his voyage towards the fern ahead, his stride showcasing no hurry for what was to come. Stalling perhaps?
