[ although she's pretty proud of how she managed to manipulate wash into signing himself up for this, carolina's original interest in the charity weekend was more curiosity than anything else. not quite enough to warrant putting in the effort towards working at the gala (and it turns out she was emotionally exhausted and would have hated anything to do with people, so that was probably a good call) but the white day event is accessible enough.
a frustrated hour of shopping after work had updated her wardrobe the bare minimum required and she's wearing the fruits of her efforts now: a high-necked, long sleeved white blouse and flowing navy pants, a cute bow at the waist. both reusable, versatile pieces she'd found on sale. as a bonus, the pants have pockets, mostly for keeping carolina's still noticeably banged up hands out of sight. they're healing but she has no desire to use this world's technology to speed it up, even if icing them had helped.
as soon as wash goes to check in as a bachelor, carolina disappears, giving herself some time for recon around the venue before eventually showing back up again. she's not going to leave him alone all evening long. ]
Still blushing, huh?
[ he may very well have a new reason for it, but he was flushed when she left him and it's an easy target for her teasing. ]
