The good news is, she doesn't faceplant, though she does end up in a vaguely sitting position on the ground with her legs a little awkwardly tangled and one arm practically vertical, owing to the fact that he's got hold of it and that was where she pivoted somehow along the way and in the end, he did in fact grab her, she just...made a mess of it, as usual.
...And as a credit to her apparent burst of willpower, she's not crying. Yet, anyway. If anything, she just looks sort of dazed, probably more from the fall than the explosion.]
