That Adam is listening to him, that Adam is acknowledging what he's saying, even if he doesn't quite believe it. It's alright, because Ronan believes it- he has to. If he doesn't, then this whole thing crumbles. It feels shaky right there, in the dark of the hall between the two of them, but he knows that they don't have another choice. This is what needs to be done. They'll do it.
He shakes his head, backs off a step or two, and exhales heavy through his nose, his mouth drawn in a tight frown. He's not good at this, but he tries, because the alternative is letting them all fall apart. The important thing here is that they made a plan. They know what they're going to do. Adam will probably make it better once he thinks it over, but even to Ronan's reckless, act-first sort of mindset, it seems solid enough.
Fuck, he is tired of thinking about this. It makes him want to hit something, to get drunk like he used to get drunk. It's not a choice he can make right now, but the impulse is there anyway. He tamps it down, swallows hard.
