[Paper bag or not, Clarisse isn't entirely human, and Adam gives her the respect that status deserves. Non-humans in his experience are known to be bigger and stronger, and you don't mess with them unless you're prepared for the bull to give you some horns up your ass.
But Adam also doesn't do well with them ordering him around anymore. He'd rather take the horns than another passive ride to Hell.]
How about explain now.
[Sure, the wards in his room probably aren't designed for other divine things like gods, but with her practically demanding he come out from behind him, it makes him wonder if he shouldn't stay exactly where he is...
And then she says "please," of all things. That is surprising, considering 1) she doesn't like his face, 2) he's already proven he's a weak human, and 3) Clarisse doesn't seem like she bends for anyone, least of all someone composed of the first two points. That, more than anything, gets his attention. If she's serious, what could she possibly need from him that she can't do herself?
His tone changes, turning more slow and questioning.]
