Oh, Ronan. [Adam sighs. He loves Ronan, but Ronan's an idiot.

Ronan wants to be absorbed, but Adam doesn't allow it. They have to be careful with that. It can't become a dependency. He keeps Ronan in his hands, soothed just to be in contact with him like this.]

The Church does not offer the best guidance for behavior. You no longer belong to the Church. You belong to me, and the Church's guidance for behavior does not please me.

Human form again, please, Ronan.
