"War is hell." Charlotte says pointedly to Lyrique. "People die. It is a fact of life. You must learn to deal with it. We can't blindly rush out and look for someone - that would do no good. We have to go about this cautiously, and ensure that we are still alive and able to find out what is going on. We will find your parents when we can... but at the moment, trying to do so would be unwise."
Cold... perhaps, perhaps not... we are in a dangerous situation... one wrong move would cost us our lives...
"I need to get my armor and my shield." Charlotte says. "Without them, I will have problems contributing to combat."
"Victor, we cannot split up, with only two people going to the town." Charlotte says. "From the sounds of it, I'm the only person who really needs to go the academy and collect my gear. In that case, it doesn't make sense for all of us to go there... but we can't split up."
"It seems that we are at an impass... if we don't go get our gear, we will be vulnerable... but if we go and get it, our gear will be moot, as we might be too late to stop the orcs..."
Charlotte is silent for a moment, deep in thought.
"Alright... this is what we'll do. Half of us - we'll decide by a show of hands - will go to the town. You will try to find Lyrique's parents, as well as find out where the orcs are headed, and anything else about them, without getting caught. The rest of us - including myself - will go to the academy and gather our gear. Those who are going into town will have to give me a list of what they want from their rooms, though, because I don't know what everyone needs."
"Then, we will all meet... in the cafeteria." Charlotte says, nodding to Victor in acknowledgement of his idea. "There we will divide the gear and share the information we have all gained."
Argent - don't worry about it. Play the character as it was meant to be played. I personally am not annoyed, though Charlotte might be... 
RP as you think the character would.
