[ wash evens out and so does she, even if carolina loses track of how long it takes. she doesn't feel better, but her anxiety is at a simmer now, and the raw, exhausted feeling that had been so heavy in her chest has eased, if only a little. it'll do.
she eases away from the hug but doesn't break contact, looking up at wash instead. her face is bruised, but it was clearly only a handful of blows, not nearly the full extent of damage maine could have done to her. nothing's broken or needs real medical care, she's just going to be sore for a few days. wash has seen her walk off much worse injuries, so he shouldn't have anything to be concerned about, carolina figures.
not that she lets wash look very long before she moves, stretches up to kiss him tenderly, palpably grateful for his company. ]
