[ Unfortunately, Ronan's brand of farming is particular, and if he can't dream, here, Alec will quickly see the end of Ronan's farming skills. At least, he is well versed in the ins and outs of it, theoretically.
I've been doing this my whole life, Alec says, and Ronan nods, because so has he. One thing Niall Lynch was intent on teaching his sons - at least, the older two - was how to fight, defend themselves, and always be ready. And then he died, and he and Declan turned that knowledge on each other.
Whatever. It's not the point, right now. Fact is, he's doing this now, this exploratory mission, for a number of reasons. Curiosity to start with, but also because of a need to understand where he is so he can actually be prepared for it, like he was taught. Because of an itch under his skin, worry and anger and anxiety mixing in his blood and making him want to punch something, really badly. He's worried about Gansey and Matthew, about Adam, about Kavinsky, about his homeworld, about fucking Declan, even.
It's either go on a mission and hope he'll get into a fight or two, or fall to the bottom of a bottle. Or worse, seek Kavinsky out.
So he looks at Alec, his face serious this time. ] Yes. You can.
