[Ronan is still standing in the doorway, barring Adam's escape from the room- it's just the two of them and the bodies under the bed in there now, and Adam is calmer than Ronan would have liked, but he can see that the other boy is shaken to his core, which is good.
It's why the doubles are here anyway, to cause confusion, create fear, generate discord. Adam's entire world is crashing down around him, even if it looks like he's still standing. Ronan can appreciate that kind of strength at least, and he offers Adam a little smile now, more tactful and sinister than any expression that usually makes its way onto Ronan's face.]
You kissed me, you know. [Is what he says in response to Adam suddenly going onto his guard. Ronan leans against the doorway, casual with one shoulder against the frame.] Right after I did it. I don't think his body was even cold yet. I came in from outside, I was breathing hard- do you remember?
[But, the double shrugs, like it's not really a conversation topic worth pursuing. All it does is drive the knife in deeper, if only you'd been smart enough to figure it out, Adam- which is what he wants, really. Still, the clone has Ronan's sense of flippancy in the worst of times and so he diverts from the topic and lifts his eyes back up to Adam, intense and quiet in a way that only Ronan can manage.]
You won't kill me. I don't think you can do anything to me.
