First… Glow? [Video]
[So… you know Route 31, right? Nice quiet forest path, cute little pond, entrance to Dark Cave… way too many ledges?
A couple of days after the Snorunt leave their blessings (or “blessings,” in some cases…), the PokéGear feed will open up to… a yelp! A young, very feminine, oh-so dignified yelp, and a camera showing lots of rolling dirt, grass, trees, a rock or two, flashes of the winter noon sky, and occasionally a ball of pink coat and LONG moon white curls! (Hopefully no one in the audience has a fear of heights or vertigo.)
Thankfully, the fall only lasts a few seconds, and the audio of a groan after a few seconds lets everyone know both the PokéGear and its owner still function. Well, at least the camera does. The bad news… well, when Allura attempts to inspect device, everyone gets a good look at her mud-splattered face, AND at least three small branches jammed into her hair!]
Oh no, please don’t be broken!

It doesn't seem like Allura is having such luck. ]
Allura...! Is everything okay?!
Video
[Oh. The camera's on. And it's broadcasting. Quiznak...]
A-ah... hello, Rainer... [MY that is an impressive blush through all the mud on her face.] Y-yes, I'm fine. Just fine.
[And she means it, otherwise she wouldn't be fussing over the device first.]
Re: Video
[ She doesn't quite sound fine, but Rainer won't press. ]
How's your gear holding up from that fall?
no subject
[She's sure, although that "if you're sure" does get a blink-and-miss-it eyebrow.
As for the Gear... pardon her as Allura turns the device around a bit to inspect it.]
Aside from some mud and scuff marks... surprisingly intact, at least on the outside. I'll have to examine the functions after this call.
[Maybe a bag of rice before charging too, just to be safe.]

Allura?
[He paused once he saw her moving again, worried about her PokéGear, standing near her.]
Are you okay?
no subject
[After fielding all the lovely responses to her video, Allura sees Keith coming for her and just... sighs.]
Yes, I'm fine... no injuries, save my pride...
no subject
[Oye... she was a mess. Keith bit his lip and then offered his hand out to help her up if she needed it.]
Here.
1/2
[Okay, the offer of a hand up does get a faint smile out of her.]
Thank you--
2/2
Ah!
[But then she tries to take an actual step up and immediately freezes with a hiss.]

Are you all right!
[Of course, he's going to jump on this. It's immediate. Maybe a little bit of an over-reaction, but... well. Forgive him.]
no subject
[Aaaand of course it has to be a video to multiple people. Poor Shiro, though.]
Yes, Shiro, I'm fine. [A light shake of her head.] I'd be more worried about myself than the device if I was injured.
[.... I mean, it's true now that they're not in a war zone, buuuuut...]
no subject
Sorry. Right, I - guess you never really stop worrying about sudden videos like that.
[He'll compose himself, though. Pushing his hand through his hair.]
What happened?
no subject
[Awww Shiro... She sighs and tries to smile despite the frustration.]
I'm all right, Shiro. [So is he.] And not much. I was chasing after Kirlos when he wandered off and apparently didn't look down fast enough.
[And look, the little Swablu takes his cue to perch on her head, completely unscathed. "Blublu~~~"]

Oh, no. If something is broken, please, don't move it! There are -- nurses here, right? Maybe we can call one to where you're at!
no subject
[Allura doesn't connect this boy to the Secret Santa exchange right away, obviously, but it is a young boy fussing over, so Allura calms herself down with a quick breath and tries to smile.]
It's all right, really. It was just a short fall. I'm uninjured, and my traveling companion should be here shortly. [She says, unaware she's sprained her ankle yet.] Thank you, though.
[video]
I would not be so worried about these devices. They are much sturdier than one might think!
no subject
That's good to--
[Wait... Allura pauses mid-relief to squint at the screen.]
You... look familiar. Have we met before, sir?

No--wait... [She vaguely remembers the name being tossed around in...] Were you... also captured by the Beheeyem in October?

Wow, that was-- Are you okay? Nothing broken?
[Cause it's not like there is convenient healing in this world.]
no subject
[At least she's not getting killed by a corn golem and its droppings...]
Nn... I'm fine, Riz. [Save for the twisted ankle she doesn't know about yet.] Just embarrassed...
no subject
[He'd try though, if need be! Because as we all know the nurses here can't be trusted.]
Uh, you've got a little-- [he gestures in the vague direction of his own hair, or what is visible of it at least under his hat.] some stuff in your hair there.

[Well... at least with Romelle, it's someone she feels decently close to, so it's not TOTALLY embarrassing.]
I'm fine, Romelle. [Give it a few minutes...] I just fell over a steep ledge without looking.
