Made perfectly clear when you look at Adam's outfit, if it wasn't obvious enough (Ex: When talking to Blake, he doesn't have the white thing over his red rose. When made head of Vale branch, he does).

1) Adam kills humans and Sienna approves, Ghira still leader.

2) Blake and Adam conversation, Sienna is already WF Leader. Since Blake doesn't look 12-14 there it's already been years since the WF turned violent and thus she's been with Adam for quite some time.

3) Attack on an SDC Facility that kinda has nothing to do with the rest of the short beyond showing us that Adam was stupid crazy at the time.

4) Adam made Head of Vale Branch.

5) Black Trailer.

The real question marks are how much time passes between time skips. But it's clear that the confrontation between Blake and Adam happened quite some time before the Black Trailer, and also before he became the head of the Vale branch. I would say the most plausible scenario is that Blake was 15 or so about the time the conversation happened. She could have been 14, but no younger than that. In other words, probably a year at least before the Black Trailer. What also isn't clear is what Blake was doing in that time. She wasn't in the attack on the SDC, apparently, but we presume she was still with the White Fang. Did Blake stay in Vale or did she go with Adam and just wasn't involved in the mission or perhaps not that part of the mission?

With that timeline there is also the question of why the conversation happened at that point. Blake was supposedly close to Adam for a while already and he already had a reputation. I have to presume it was not the first time someone died when she was on a mission with Adam. My only thought is that there was something particularly noteworthy about it and that means either it was not easily written off as self-defense, involved higher casualties, or Blake was somehow partially responsible.
