[It's an unutterable relief to see Ronan so easily and completely take his side, back him up like that. Believe him. Adam will come back, he always will, he's always intended to. But this creature with his face is trying to get under Ronan's skin. Trying to upset him, or trying to make him doubt the real Adam - Adam can't be sure which, because it's the same result in the end.

His shoulders relax a little as the double's eyes narrow. Its countenance doesn't change, exactly - it still has Adam's cadence, his bearing and his speech patterns, the faintest hint of a Henrietta accent. But with the rough finality of Ronan's words, Adam's imposter is frustrated, annoyed at the mischance of running into Ronan with the real Adam here.]


This would have been a lot easier if you were alone. It's clear you believe anything he says - must feel good to have that much power over you.

[If he can't make Ronan doubt Adam, he'll do whatever else he can to drive a wedge between them. Adam's double is as smart as he is - he knows the game is probably up. He knows Ronan is unlikely to listen to him and Adam is unlikely to let him get away with anything. But he's here for a reason, and he isn't going to abandon it so easily.]

I'd have put it to much better use, of course.
