If Audrey was feeling helpless, then Caiden was feeling...slightly overwhelmed. He hadn't even been sure that he was going to attend the ball until recently, when his friends convinced him to go. And now he was faced with the option of wearing a costume? He was never one to draw attention to himself, and he knew a costume would be sure to do that. But he also didn't want to be a damper on his friends, or make Audrey be embarrassed in a costume alone. Perhaps he'd ask Ri if he planned on wearing a costume.
"I was, yes. But if you really want, I'll try and find a costume. Who else is dressing up, do you know?"
