Ronan listens to Gansey's tirade- part of it anyway, because he spends the rest of it watching the both of them, the curve of Gansey's back, the hollow tilt of his shoulders, the look in Adam's eye when Gansey throws his own words back at him.
His jaw tightens then and he shakes his head, stepping forward, not quite between Gansey and Adam, but definitely closer to Gansey than Adam is. He doesn't like turning on Gansey- it feels wrong to him somehow, and he knows that Adam isn't innocent in this either. None of them are, and he hates this, hates all of this, hates how wrong they all are to even be in this situation in the first place.
"Knock it off, Gansey. You're panicking."
Which is easy enough to see. Gansey is easy to read when he winds himself up like this, frantic and angry and scared. It's fair. Everything he's saying is fair, but it also- isn't, and it frustrates Ronan that he can't explain it the way he wants to, make Gansey see things the way that he does.
Because he has faith that if anyone can save Gansey, it will be Adam- who has promised and tried and taken abuse from Ronan for not saying anything, Adam who would give anything, even his future, his own chance at Glendower's blessing, if it means keeping Gansey safe.
"If Parrish says he can stop it, then he can. We believe in you, alright? Return the fucking favor."
