[Now that Adam has thought of it, the thought is not at all pleasant. He should probably have known that the sound of a gunshot would wake Ronan up, and that waking him up suddenly could lead to something very dangerous. But as practical as Adam is, he's not always able to think things through as well as he should.
It could have been a lot worse. He'll remember that for next time, remember the chilling possibilities of Ronan's power. It doesn't scare Adam - not anymore, not when he regularly spends nights next to Ronan and wakes up to find whatever strange thing he's dreamed - but he knows to be wary of it.]
We got lucky.
[He's still thinking about it. And Ronan's reaction is something he'll need to think about as well - how he seems to have accepted it, his easy trust in Adam even though Adam has done something awful. It's - honestly, it's flattering, it's not something Adam would expect from anyone. It's something he would expect Ronan to give Gansey, not him, though he supposes when he thinks about it that Ronan has always trusted him, and being here has only made it stronger.
Still. It's not an easy thing to accept. Not for someone like Adam.]
