the impulse in gansey is strong to point out that no, blue isn't here, that her absence is a nearly-five-foot-tall girl-shaped hole in their group. except adam is right, he doesn't want jane involved in any of this, and if he had to choose between them...well, he'd choose any of his ravens to be beside him over her in this horrible place. not because she isn't resourceful or strong or smart, but because peace with jane is even more tenuous than peace with adam can be, and gansey can't exist right now with the worry of her coming to harm and the endless anxiety of saying the wrong thing amped to jane levels.]
You're right, as usual. Thoroughly trouncing me in the contest of keeping a cool head lately, Parrish.
I didn't realize it was a contest. But if it is, I guess I'm glad I'm winning.
[Anxiety, of course, has never been Adam's problem. He has a laundry list of others, but even if he worries sometimes, anxiety is nowhere near the top of that list.]
[really, that was meant to be an apology for his recent behavior, which he knows isn't something adam is in any way prepared to deal with. nobody is meant to be dealing with gansey like this, as far as gansey himself is concerned. expressing negative emotions in public is just untoward and to be avoided at all costs.]
