[Adam's shutting down. Ronan can see it. And though Ronan has it in him to yell at Andyr all night, until it's drilled into his head that there's never going to be any excuse for frightening Adam, he knows it's not the right course of action now. Loud voices will make it worse. The only way to bring Adam back is to make it safe again.]
Shut up, Andyr.
[He sounds more exasperated than angry now.]
I don't care what you do, as long as you don't do it in front of Adam. You've already managed not to kill us all, so you can handle this. Now chill out and stop making so much noise.
[Andyr's hardly the only one in the room suffering from PTSD. Ronan turns to Adam again, brushing his palm lightly along Adam's arm in a reassuring caress. He's admonishing Andyr, but all of this is his own fault, really. He's been failing in his promise to give Adam everything. He should never have said anything to Andyr. They would have all been better off if Ronan had stayed away entirely, Adam and Andyr free to pursue their romance without him.]
