I don't know. I haven't seen it from the outside before.
[Which makes it a lot harder to tell Ronan what to watch for. How long was he gone last time, when Blue panicked? Twenty minutes? An hour? It couldn't have been much longer, but Adam has absolutely no sense of time when he's scrying, not like normally.
He thinks back, trying to remember what Blue said, what Noah said. His words are careful as he remembers, eyes a bit unfocused.]
She said... my eyes stopped moving. And I stopped breathing. So if that happens, yeah, do something.
[Well, that seems pretty obvious, but he might as well say it anyway. Ronan's never done this before, he doesn't have any frame of reference for it, but obviously if Adam's not breathing something should be done. He hopes it doesn't get that bad, though.]
It shouldn't take that long, but I don't really know. Give me at least fifteen minutes, more if nothing seems to be going wrong.
[That's a total off-the-wall estimate. For all Adam knows, it'll take half a minute. Or half an hour, or all day. It depends on Cabeswater, on whether he can convince it to show him what he needs to see, on whether he can keep control of his own mind well enough to focus everything. He thinks he can. He has to try.
He looks at Ronan. He's nervous, and it's making him a little testy, but he thinks the same is the case for Ronan, so he's trying to keep a tight leash on his temper. They need each other right now.]
