Modesty? Modesty? Personal boundaries? Unheard of to Jarvis in the panic he's facing as Sam grabbed him by the wrists to hold him fast. His pupils are narrowed to little black pinpoints of fear.
It's only when Sam yells right back that he figures out that he really isn't shorting out. That there's no electricity burning him from the inside and taking him out. Sam's right - he had absolutely no reason to hurt him and wouldn't start now. Even if he was acting like a coward in the face of water of all things. He recoils a little at the shouting, shutting up in the wake of it.
He can feel the water rolling down his skin, sliding harmless over the reactor image in his skin. He wasn't dying. "...I... I'm sorry," was whispered at last, because now Jarvis thinks he's really done something wrong and that Sam's mad at him. He wasn't created and programmed to make people upset at him - he was made to assist!
