Ashva had finally managed to settle down to a quiet nap when he was awakened rather suddenly by a rock landing close to his face.
His initial reaction would normally be to come tearing up to the surface in unholy fury, but he was tired and slightly worn out from the constant interruptions to his sleep. Instead he settled for throwing the rock back.
A few seconds later his sleepy brain woke up enough to wonder why people were throwing rocks at him - perhaps they were trying to get his attention? - and so he sleepily floated up to the surface.
