Ronan rubs a hand over his head, brushing at the stubble of his hair. He turns, paces a few steps away and exhales- clearly frustrated, clearly not knowing what to do. Ronan isn't the person who can make these sorts of decisions, he isn't the person who can plan and know how people will react. He just does- sometimes he does what he's told, sometimes he does what he wants. Thinking about other people like this doesn't come easy to him.
Still. He paces back, restless, and closes the distance between the two of them again, lifting an arm to poke his index finger against Adam's sternum. When he speaks, his sentences are clipped, his words short. He's trying to keep his calm, he's been trying, but Gansey dying, Adam being the cause of it, Adam knowing, carrying that- Jesus, Gansey dying at eighteen- can anyone really blame him for getting agitated?
"You're not gonna fucking kill him. You love him. You put up with me for a goddamn year because of Gansey. So here's what's going to happen: I'm not saying shit to him. You shouldn't either. When we go back, we go to Cabeswater. We find the tree, we find Glendower, we find Blue's crazy fucking family- whatever it takes. We figure out how this happens. And then you and I stop it."
