For just a second Adam's a little worried he's given up too much information, that maybe Riley thinks he might be the type of siren prone to abusing people for his own gain. While he has used his powers to get what he wants more than a few times over the course of his life, Adam doesn't think he's ever hurt anyone. At least not anyone who didn't really deserve it. Maybe he's a bit impulsive and doesn't always think it through when he decides to use his powers suddenly, but he hopes he's still a relatively good person at the core of it.

Of course, he imagines everyone hopes something like that, and it's entirely possible he's blind to all the shit he's caused over the years.

"I don't use it on friends," he says, his expression a little sheepish. He knows they've only just met, but he likes Riley well enough and he doesn't want to start his time in Siren Cove with making enemies at every corner. "Not unless they really want to know what it feels like and then I'll make sure it's something completely harmless."

He's been told it's a rather pleasant experience, which is something he's worked hard at. Adam doesn't like the idea of leaving people feeling used and he's crafted his power so that people are often left feeling like they wanted to do what he'd asked of them all along.
