Magic, of course. For all that he's gotten used to it Donnie still has his hangups.
"How am I supposed to calm down?! We're in some weird, unknown, abandoned place that is Definitely Not New York and I have a snake tail!!"
His tongue slips in and out to prove another point, making him slap a hand over his mouth. Ohhhnonono... This isn't right, magic or not.
The scales along his tail shift into dulled grays like the storm clouds that have begun to disperse above, tail itself finally loosening from the table post to coil tightly around himself. It's weird and unsettling but its still him and that makes it even moreso. But there's nothing he can do about it, and Leo's been oddly...calm? himself about the whole thing. Exhaustion reasserts itself, and Donnie slumps, loosening his aching arms just a little from the ball he'd tried to make himself.
