In the few hours since Adam had last seen him? That didn't sound like taking things slow, but considering where they were right now, it didn't feel like it mattered too much anymore. He hadn't been sure chasing down Bryde would solve anything, anyway, especially not when that thing, whatever it was, was afraid of him.

"What happened?" He was at once curious and worried, as if he hadn't been worried since the moment he'd blinked and found himself on the platform. This was a different kind of worry, an arguably more important kind since it was for Ronan and not himself.
