[About as guiltless as a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar, maybe.
Great big balls of fire and mended glasses are one thing – so's the lightning, he'll even admit – but he can't help but feel a little dubious about getting zapped with a bit of magic, even something as minor as this. It's a dubiousness that he doesn't even bother to try and hide: it's already out there on his face, in the arch of his brow, in the way he shifts his weight and considers any number of possible excuses. Forget what he'd said, clothes aren't that important after all, etc. etc.]
Why do I feel like I'm about to have a real Cinderella moment here?
[Modern day Earth jokes. Don't worry about it, Dorian– in the end, the levity's more for his own sake than it is anyone else's (though he can't help but feel a stiff drink would do a better job psyching himself up.)
Plenty of time for that later. But since for now he can't leave Dorian hanging, the sarcasm will just have to do. Whatever'll "make it easier," sure. Having apparently decided to stop being such a big baby about magic, Adam shrugs the shirt on and manages not to hold himself too stiffly in anticipation of– who the hell knows what.]
