[Hello Jan what is Charles doing at the moment? Is he going to the simulation rooms?
Because he is now, welcome to an elegant castle bedroom. Fit for a royal!!
Which might be because there is one sat down on it, fingers tracing the bedsheets. Rosamund's back is to the door, he can sneak if he likes.]

[help me.
walks in uninvited without shame and looks around]
... Am I invading anything?

Nah, I shouldn't have caught you off-guard. Good reflexes, though.
Still, I shouldn't be so jumpy. You're the second person I've taken aim at by mistake.
[And now that that's out of the way, she begins to feel a touch exposed. Rosamund bites her lip and glances around the illusory bedchamber. There's no grand secrets here, but it's personal all the same.]
Well! Welcome to the Kingdom of Reverie! Or a very small part of it at least.

Ohhh.
[looks around, smiling pleasantly as though this is not a little awkward.]
Reverie's your home, I take it?

... Ah. [...] Can I ask what happened, or is that too personal?
... I'm sorry to hear that.
[there are low vibes of confusion because it's hard for him to picture what led to rosamund herself also being covered in briars, but.]
Is there any hope of restoring it?

[She's not one for tears. She's always ready for action, and she's been in action ever since they were let loose from the lockdown.
And she's still found nothing.
Her head is one with the wood of the bar, arms coiled around it. She makes no sound or movement.]

[charles will approach, though given that rosamund seems to be doing not so great, he'll mute his emotions for her sake.]
... Hey.
... Hey.
... How're you holding up?

[a little, mirthless laugh]
Yeah, understandable. [...] I know there's not really much I can do to help, but I figure I'll make the offer anyway. Anything I can do to... make the entire thing less worse?

[This is more generousity than she probably deserves.
And it hurts. Because it never used to feel that way. Before now she had little reason to be ashamed of her failings, because at least she got to try. What did she really do today? Run around like a maniac?]
...Can you order me some whisky?

Coming right up.
[he will go grab some whisky, and some ale for himself so this doesn't result in an awkward situation where he watches her drink alone.]

Heh... I get that. [nodding...] It all looks and feels pretty cold at times, doesn't it?
... Not before that night, but I suspected then. I noticed he was feeling worse than the rest of us, when I was standing guard with him.
[should've realized then that he was the source, but. too late for that now.]
Didn't seem like he wanted people knowing, so I kept quiet.
