Adam is still contemplating the ramifications of playing war, training drills, etc. There has to be a reason. Is there some imminent threat that they need to know about? He's going to investigate this further. Adam need to know more. He seeks knowledge like most people seek air to breathe. It's just a part of who he is.

He seems to snap out of it when Ronan offers his protection. That means something to Adam. They both know that Adam is not a fighter, not in the strictest definition of the word. He fights with his intellect, and that's it.

What Adam actually is is a survivor. He'll do what he needs to do to survive. If it means being forced to take a pill, well... If it means letting Ronan protect him, then yes to that too. He'll do it.

"Ronan, I don't like this." He says honestly, a moment of vulnerability seeping through the stiff upper lip he's been wearing so far.
