[He nods. It's not like they can dig a grave with their bare hands. He has no intention of making Ronan do it on his own, though. Or even do most of it. Adam fully intends to take the majority of the work on himself - this is his fault, his responsibility. Ronan has had to dig too many graves already.]
We have some at home, right?
[He remembers that, of course. Being down in that grave, Ronan ruining his hands digging him out. The fear on both sides, the relief when Ronan found him. It was awful.]
Do you want me to come with you?
[There's no way Adam will leave Ronan alone with the body. It's enough already, knowing that the image will likely haunt him, that what Adam did will stay with him. He isn't going to give it time to burn even more deeply into his consciousness.
And Adam doesn't want to make Ronan get the shovels alone, either, but he knows that Ronan might need time. Might need to be alone. So he holds out the option, for Ronan to accept or refuse as he wishes.]
