There was only so much sun any dark-coated animal could take, add that to a body which had never been able to decide which world it liked better--Marine or Land--and the result couldn't be all that pretty.
Which was why he had decided to take shelter in a nice little pond he'd found on his way to his usual grazing spot rather than continue to it, because there was only so much abuse he could reasonably inflict upon his person and even he wasn't so much of a masochistic to injure himself to the point of not being able to function. Scales had a nasty tendency to crack and bleed when in the sun too long without water and tending them was impossible unless he went to his mother, which would raise questions as to how it happened and end again with her feeling bad for him. An endless cycle, really.
So it really wasn't much of a stretch to believe that after he had settled into the water and propped his head on a nearby rock that he began to doze a bit out of a sheer lack of anything else he felt like doing and eventually dozing became out-right napping which was likely going to last the rest of the afternoon.
