Are you hurt? I heard a thud and came as fast as I could." Alaska: *smiling faintly* "I'm okay, Moscow. Just a little clumsy today." Massachusetts: *still staring* "You always this... interesting, Alaska?" Alaska: *shrugs* "I guess you could say that." *adjusts her cap and mask* Moscow: *chuckles* "That's one way to put it."
