[ Carolina is tired. It's a familiar kind of tired: bone deep and tinged with failure, and she hates that. She also hates that the acid scoring on her left leg is considerably more real than Wash's. Two drops, but the fuckers went in one side and out the other and even "highly advanced medical technology" doesn't keep that shit from hurting.
And Washington is here.
There's the soft cracklepop of Carolina cutting the top off a bottle with a knife while he's complaining, then she throws back her head and downs it. It's a couple more seconds in which to think.
Is Wash a threat?
Possibly. But that would require him to know what she's planning, and to seem hostile. He hasn't so far, and Wash... well. He was a lot of things, but an amazing liar? Carolina never really paid close enough attention to the guy to see that kind of evidence.
If it becomes a problem, she will solve it. Later. She's tired and pissed off and mostly just resents that someone who knew her once can see how the mighty have fallen.
She doesn't have it in her to figure out the ins and outs of potentially killing one of the last of her old friends.
For now. ]
Saying things like that is how you set yourself up for disappointment later, Wash.

There's always a worse mission.
