[The fact that Gansey both understood and played along with the brevity makes the corner of his mouth twitch in a smile, despite the earlier unpleasant subject matter. Gansey somehow always knows what to say or how to react, and while he's not always successful in calming Ronan down, this time Ronan can feel his frustration ebb away at the reassurance.
Miles to go.]
Then I guess we should start working a little harder.
[There's a pause- Ronan isn't verbose, not even in text- especially not in text really, and he doesn't express himself in words so much as action, but he does feel some form of gratitude toward Gansey for all of this- the reassurance, the talking-down, everything that he's so good at.
That sort of thing is hard to express when they're just texting. So, after a minute or two, Gansey will get a second response, just a single word-]
