He thought perhaps he would sink like a stone towards the bottom of the water. It was pure foolishness however, as only moments ago it seemed that he had been floating right along the surface without concern or care for what lied beneath. Though he had succeeded in pulling her down with him, it was a short-lived victory when she thrust him further out of reach of the surface.

Pushing up towards the surface, Mordecai emerged somewhere completely different than where he had initially been pushed under. He coughed sharply at first, getting his bearings while drawing in the sweet, water-free air (which actually wasn't all that water-free). He spied her as he settled back on that surface, her back turned to him for just a single moment. He had no thoughts in his mind about getting petty revenge for the sake of fun, but then again he probably didn't have the time to consider them either.
