The last thing that Ronan wants is to make this harder on Adam. He knows
that his friend has to be reeling because Ronan is practically reeling as
well, and his life back home isn't as scheduled and regimented as Adam's is
(of course, it doesn't have to be). Ronan accepts the unfamiliar easier
than Adam, and he knows this so no pushing, not for the moment.
Ronan smirks at Adam's phrasing. He knows that it's a metaphor and he
appreciates it. "I'm not half good at that, but yeah...I'll see what I can
do." Believe it or not, Ronan wants to know what the consequences for
screwing up are here as well. He wants to make sure it's something he can
squirm out of because he's got no desire to end up in a jail cell, or worse.
"Training drills," Ronan responds. "We played laser tag. I had recruits to
look after. It was weird." Because no one in their right mind puts Ronan in
charge of anything. He'll always figure out a way to screw it up. "I think
maybe it's a military thing."
Ronan nods. "If anyone tries to force you to do anything, come to my room."
He'll protect Adam as best he can. Of course, he doesn't know for sure that
he can fight his way out of being forced to do anything here, but he wants
to at least have that chance. Ronan doesn't mind being out of control, but
he doesn't like being forced to do anything.
