[He stands too, not entirely sure why it feels somehow like he's reassuring Gansey by saying that. Or maybe he is sure, and he just doesn't want to think about it. But of course they'd all be living together. Of course he wouldn't flinch from sharing a house with Gansey, after everything, after all this.
Briefly, Adam looks guilty.]
I, ah, went through your room while you were gone. I've got everything still, though, so I'll give it to you when we get there.
[Adam had been frustrated and lonely and at loose ends, unable to disappear like Noah or vent his emotions with fighting and liquor like Ronan. So he'd tried to do useful things instead, and organizing Gansey's room had ended up being one of them. He regrets that now, a little, because it feels so invasive now that Gansey is in front of him. He wouldn't want someone going through his things, after all. Not that he's ever had much to go through.]
I'll tell you everything I know about this place. I'm sorry in advance, none of it is going to be very positive.
[For a moment, he pauses, not sure of what to do. Adam is not good at expressing his emotions in any kind of proper way. He never has been - it's a fundamental skill he never really got a chance to learn. What's the right thing to do? Hug Gansey? But Adam is awful at hugs, that would surely be awkward for the both of them. Pretend he's not simultaneously sad that Gansey is stuck here again and overjoyed that he's back with them? But that might actually be beyond Adam's abilities right now.
So he just - looks at Gansey, summons something like a smile, a little uncertain and a lot worried but genuine.]
I'm not happy you're here, but I'm glad you're with us again.
