When he sees two figures at the end of the hallway, Charming doesn't think much of it. People come and go all the time and Charming's learned to excuse himself by ducking in behind them, trying not to get in their way. He's learned that none of the doors lead him back to Hook's ship and they don't offer him a way back to Storybrooke and while the impatience and frustration is building, it also comes alongside a healthy dose of resignation.

That resignation starts to bleed away a little when he continues down the hall and realizes that he knows those two. Those aren't two strangers who have wandered into his way. He falters, slightly, when his gaze skitters from Red to The Huntsman, seeing a ghost long dead.

"You have no idea how glad I am to see the two of you," Charming exhales with a laugh when he gets close enough to see that his eyes haven't actually been playing tricks on him.
