[Charlotte is a lot of things - a lover, a friend, a housekeeper, a kidnap victim, a princess, intuitive, derp, joyful, playful, an aspiring fighter... because of those things, she often has a lot of roles she can and does fulfill. After the chaos earlier today, it was only obvious Adell would become involved and it was only obvious that he would lead everyone to victory. All she could do was watch from a distance and wait for him to come back to the house.

Actually, she had been waiting in his bed like she is now to congratulate him on a stunning victory but the minute he opens the door her heart sinks. It wasn't the triumphant instance she had thought it would be and was frankly hoping for. No... he looks really, really beat up. She frowns, watching hm carefully in the doorway]

[...Honestly, when he stepped into his room, he hadn't anticipated Charlotte to be waiting for him in his bed. He blinks, startled just a little. But that startled moment fades fairly fast.

And yes... he's very beaten up. He's bruised in several places, and much of his arms are wrapped in bandages and gauze. Though the shirt probably conceals it, most of his torso is covered in them as well. His face looks tired, drained, and... well, not as though he's been defeated. But her expectations of him being triumphant are definitely off.

And right now, he's moving much slower than he normally would be.]

...Charlotte?

[A more sobered smile comes up onto her face... this isn't what she expected. It's not at all what it should be, so she'll just adapt, right?]

Welcome back.

[...He can tell that this wasn't what she had in mind. But he'll smile for her. It's a weakened, tired one. But it is genuine. He's home. He's safe. Charlotte's alive, unhurt, and safe. For now, that's the greatest sight for sore eyes he could have.]

Thanks.

[And he'll walk over to the bed and take a seat next to her. He's slow in sitting down, every part of him stiff and sore, but the bed's welcoming and he doesn't mind.]
