[Charles has been quiet since they got back, mostly because he's just tired. There have been times in the past where he feels like something like this would have reduced him to an emotional wreck, but right now, just just feels... numb. Worn out.
He hates what happened, but there's a part of him... a part of him is remembering what he had to read in his psychology courses about soldiers who had grown almost numb to combat. Which is just depressing.
So Erik's not the only one who can't sleep after showering, and Charles really doesn't want to be alone right now. He's pretty certain - even if he's not aware of it - that his friend doesn't want to be either, so he gently nudges Erik and gets him to unlock the door. He lets himself in and without saying anything shuffles over to Erik's bed and sits down next to him.
... Actually just kidding, sitting is up too hard right now, you have a very tired telepath flopped down next to you.]
