Blissfully oblivious to Melita's impulse to bop him on the head, he swam over to the seed pods and hefted them thoughtfully. They were roughly softball sized and heavy with water; heavy and firm enough to make for a good throw but softened enough by their submersion to have a little give if he squeezed hard enough. "Are you ready?" he asked and waited for her signal before he swam back a short distance and lobbed the first one at her; neither too hard nor too fast, trying to gauge distance and aim for himself as much as giving her a warmup.
It was probably more of a surprise to him than her when the projectile went more or less where it was aimed - at the center of Mel's torso.
