Heh. The only quibbles I'd have are that Doug doesn't automatically show respect to a Celestial -- he's far too distrustful of them as a whole. The bit you're copying from DW5 was actually Doug trying to save his own skin and get out of wherever he'd found himself before something went radically wrong. He'd be more likely to suspect Hiromi of pulling some kind of divine scam, actively deceiving those around her about her true nature for either some ineffable game or for her own personal amusement.
And unless you're intending for him to be actively hiding his talents, Doug does not "dabble" in magic. He is one of the top 100 experts, world-wide, in magical theory and practice in Warriors' World. If he weren't forced to operate almost entirely on an instinctive/unconscious level, he would be an archmage to reckon with.
Oh, and even if it's Tim Hortons's, Doug's not a coffee-drinker, he's very much a tea man. He only drinks coffee medicinally.
Those few little things aside, though, I'm very much enjoying this.
