[ it's been A Day, and at least the medical tent isn't that big, or it might have been a task to be walking back and forth from ronan's room to where adam's laid out, taking in fluids and letting the paralytic wear off, with some help. ronan's in some kind of stable now, but still out, so andyr leaves him to the doctors to go check on adam again - something he'd been doing intermittently, wanting an eye on both of the boys.

they'd finally left this one alone for a time, so andyr moves to sit in a chair next to his bed, hand reaching out to touch a forearm gently. ]

Hey. How's the drug doing? Can you move okay yet?

[ Adam was reluctant to get out of the bath and honestly he's sorely tempted to get back into it before they leave the room but the buffer of plush towels wrapped around their bodies is going to make actually talking easier as he lays on the side of the bath still on the bright and clean tile, his eyes on Ronan. It feels like a betrayal to himself in a way, to everything that'd just happened to bring up what he's about to but the events in the tent he'd overheard and seen were constantly haunting him.

Ronan always, clearly, would do anything sacrifice anything of his own wants and desires to provide for adam, shouldn't he do the same? Even so, he knows he has to tread carefully here. ]

Do you have feelings for Andyr?

[ Adam shrugs. Of course, there's more animals. Ronan loves making living happy things after all. Adam's not sure he's even aware of all the dream animals that might be roaming the property. He reaches down to pet Skippy a few times before nodding in the direction where most of the livestock is kept. ]

Do you have everything you need here? [ Maybe it's too soon to ask. He knows Blue probably would hate to just take free things but Ronan could make sure she's provided for but Adam's not sure she'd even ask if she needed anything. ]

[ Jesse stands outside Ronan and Adam's room, just out of sight from the open door. He's been standing there for at least a minute, ruminating, running things over in his mind. He's as pathetic looking as he'd been the other night: dark circles still hanging under his eyes, sickly pale, unhealthy, looking like a decent sleep might actually kill him.

He's showered, at least, though. Dressed in clean clothes - baggy jeans and a red t-shirt, bare feet. Closing his eyes, he draws in a deep, steeling breath, exhales, and then slowly steps up to the doorway.

There's absolutely nothing confrontational or vicious about Jesse like there'd been the other night. All of that is gone, sullen, pensive contrition written all over his expression instead, body language meek. He lifts a hand and tentatively raps a knuckle against the door frame to get Adam's attention, tap, tap, tap. ]

[ Adam feels a smile tugging at his lips and he lifts his hand to hit against Gansey's lightly for a fistbump. He still doesn't feel quite real even when their skin connects. Something's not quite right but as with all those little feelings that he's started to get since his sacrifice to Cabeswater he doesn't really know what it means or what to do with it. ]

Did you get settled in...? [ Because Ronan can be a bit of a bonehead and forget obvious things sometimes. ]

[ Outside Ronan and Adam's bedroom, by the door, is a large package wrapped in brown paper. The only thing written on it in sloppy handwriting is:

"Adam,
Thought these might interest you."

No name attached to it or any indication who they're from.

If Adam finds the package and decides to open it, he will find an assortment of books (and those listed are only just a few of them; there are at least twenty books in total). These are probably all books Ronan has already dreamed up for Adam, but oh well.

There's no rhyme or reason to the books; it's like whoever purchased them had no actual clue what they were buying, so gave up and just bought every tarot book they could find in whatever bookstores they could find around the metropolis in Region 1. That's because Jesse doesn't know the first fucking thing about tarot. But he's seen Adam with those tarot cards of his quite a lot around Monmouth, so tarot obviously means something to him.

Jesse knows buying Adam a bunch of books doesn't in any way equate to a right to forgiveness, or for Adam to have any obligation to speak to him. Jesse isn't seeking that, anyway. What he's seeking is this contrition thing Ronan has told him about; Jesse has decided to give it a go. It's the least he can do, he supposes. These books hardly amount to contrition, but he has to start somewhere, right? ]

[[ ooc; No need to respond to this if you don't want to! Adam can do whatever he wants with the books, whether he decides to toss them or ask around Monmouth to find out where the books came from, or whatever you like. c: ]]

[Gansey's been looking all over the place for Adam--he thinks he may have a lead on how to exorcise the demon from Ronan. He's fairly certain Adam isn't at work... it's late enough anyway that he shouldn't be there.

Not in the kitchen, nor the library, nor the sitting areas...

The last place he has left to look is Adam's room of course.

He finds it with the door closed and knocks--three sharp raps.

He waits a few seconds and doesn't hear anything--no hint of anyone moving beyond the door. Again, he knocks. Gansey gives Adam at bit more time this time. When nothing happens in a couple of minutes, Gansey places a hand on the doorknob and opens the door into Adam's room.]

What's it like to be dead?

[For all that Gansey is oblivious, Adam's been worrying him recently between his breakdown and finding him after he had taken his pills with alcohol. It hasn't escaped his notice that Adam has been spending more and more time at the shop where he works. He's pushed Adam before to talk about what's bothering him and he'll do it again sometime soon. For now though, he wants to make sure the bare necessities are taken care of.

So he's got a small bag with a couple of cold slices of pizza wrapped in tin foil and a water bottle and walks into the garage, finding Adam after not having seen him all day.]

I brought you something to eat.
