Adam never wore short sleeves in public because he was afraid of what people would think. But to add to the oddity, Adam was toeing off his shoes and climbing over the rim of the fountain.

The moment his bare toes hit the water he sucked in a deep breath and felt a little relief. Giddiness bubbled up inside of him and erupted in a loud gurgling giggle as he started splashing around the fountain, looking very much like a certain muggle actor who liked to 'sing and dance in the rain.'
Jane Howard was on her way to catch one of the lifts down to Level 9, a stack of ancient volumes in her arms, when someone pushed into her, hard, nearly causing her to drop her heavy load. Struggling to keep the delicate books from falling to the floor, she didn't notice at first who it had been or what they were now doing. When she finally caught her balance and righted her stack of books, she looked up and was shocked at what she saw--her colleague, Adam Gerulf, half undressed and playing in the fountain like a child. What in Merlin's name...?!?

"Adam!" she called out, carefully setting down her books near a wall and hurrying over toward the fountain. "What...what on earth are you doing in there?! Are you all right?"
