Part of the problem was translation between worlds because in Ronan's the way Jason talked sounded like he was describing some children's show Ronan never watched. The other part was Ronan very rarely let on what was actually going on in his mind like, for example, how he'd known sentient trees as well and had just pictured his friend Blue rising up to make the world a safe place for all her kind. Something like that. It was pretty funny to him anyway.
