[He doesn't know if he will be. Or rather - he has to be. There isn't really any other option. Someone needs to watch the body, and it can't be Ronan. He doesn't want it to be Ronan. So Adam will stay and keep watch over the body of this thing that looks just like him, this thing that he killed. And it'll be okay, he'll make it okay.
The fact that Ronan hasn't simply walked away from him helps. The fact that Ronan has accepted this, accepted Adam's actions without condemning him. He doesn't know if that's right, nor really - he thinks he might deserve condemnation - but it means a lot to him that Ronan hasn't done it.]
If anything happens, I'll call you. And Aspen can stay with me.
[He doesn't think anything else will happen. This is probably the thing they had to fear - this, and what Adam did. But he doesn't want Ronan to have any reason to worry.]
