Caroline smiles weakly. "I guess that's kind of an understatement." And then anything else she might have been about to say just kind of sputters out of her brain when Eddie decides that kissing her hand is a thing that should happen. Normally she would have some sort of remark to make, but Caroline is honestly pretty overwhelmed right now. And quickly discovering that sweet gestures have more of an effect than they really should when she's already upset. Between this and Jonathan's hand in her hair, she could almost cry. And she's really not a crier.

...Actually, Eddie still doesn't look much better off than her. Jonathan is the only one who seems to have it together right now, and he's the one who materialized out of nowhere to pet her hair and convince her not to awkward away. Yeah. "Can we just rule today a mulligan or something?" Caroline asks after a moment. Normally she'd figure one or both of them were probably done with her after this, but well. They're both still at the table. And she can't really imagine keeping a couple of supervillains somewhere they don't want to be. Hell, Arkham certainly can't.

Jonathan snorts. "I think that can be arranged."
