He watched her for a long moment. "You look very agitated." He commented.

Charlotte nodded blankly. "I accidentally destroyed my room," she said flatly.
"Accidentally destroyed your…" He trailed off, walking to her room.
"Panicked. Threw things. Sorry," she muttered.
He sighed, crossing his arms. "No, really." He said dryly. "Can i ask why you were so damn upset?"
Charlotte shook her head. "No. I don't - no."
"Alright, fine." He replied with a shrug.
Charlotte nodded, tapping her fingers against her arm nervously.
"Well. Now i have to move you to a new room, so that this one can be fixed." Quinn sighed. "Because I dont have enough on my plate." He muttered, tugging at his hair.
Charlotte sniffed quietly. "I said I was sorry," she murmured, reaching up and pulling on large portions of her hair, on the verge of pulling it out.
Quinn shook his head. "It's fine." He said softly. "Just next time, please don't destroy it." He told her.
Cassie nodded. "I didn't mean to," she whispered, pacing faster to fight the panic.
"Charlotte, it's fine. Calm down." Quinn said, looking at her.
She shook her head. "I can't. I can't calm down because everything is wrong and nothing is right and I can't control any of it and I can't handle that."
He frowned slightly. "What do you mean?" He asked softly. "I…"
Charlotte paused pacing for a second before quickly resuming. "At home, I knew how everything was going to work. Everything was how it was supposed to be, and castles didn't disappear and cats didn't talk and rabbits were never late for anything. And if I wanted something to move, I'd move it. It wouldn't just… walk away on it's own. And I can't handle the fact that nothing is how it's meant to be," she cried desperately.
Quinn hesitantly put a hand on her shoulder. "I…don't know anything about disappearing castles, that's a new one. But…I know you've heard this a billion times, but…this is Wonderland. It doesn't work by the same rules as your world."
"That's the problem! Everything is different, and it's not supposed to be different and my brain can't process that, so I push it to the back of my mind, but every time I try to relax, these things happen, and they're not supposed to happen, and they shouldn't ever happen, and - " she broke off, near hyperventilating.
Quinn sighed. "I'm sorry, Charlotte. I'm trying to find you a way home." He said softly.
(Going to go to bed early tonight, won't be on for a while)
Charlotte nodded, leaning against the railing on the staircase with her head on her hands and trying not to cry any more. She quietly growled in frustration. "I'm not supposed to be like this," she whispered to herself.
(Okie, honestly same lol)
Quinn sighed. "I know." He replied quietly.
After a few moments, Charlotte straightened up and turned to walk down the stairs, muttering quietly to herself all the while. "I'll go home. They'll all think I'm mad. But that's fine because this whole thing is mad. They'll be right." She gave a short, manic laugh and headed for the outside.
Quinn sighed softly, and watched her go. "I wasn't taught this." He muttered to himself.
Charlotte got slightly lost, but eventually ended up in the garden she'd been in earlier. Looking around, she couldn't immediately see an exit, so she picked a direction and decided to keep walking until she hit a wall.
After a while, Quinn headed downstairs, where he ran into Aster. "Aster!" He exclaimed. "I… you took Charlotte to the gardens earlier?'
Aster nodded. "I did." He replied. "I…may have pissed her off, too. I'm sorry about that."
"It's fine." Quinn waved a hand.
