[America's smile drops a little into something gentler--maybe a little worried, though he'd never admit it. He dips in to kiss England, quick and gentle.] I didn't get hurt. It sucked being there, and I had to watch a lot of people jump, but I'm okay.
Of course! I can't imagine how frightened she must have been. [And England was in no way also frightened about America and Ginger not coming back or what they might be doing while apart from England.]
[England opens his mouth and almost says I'd never forgive you if you'd let her jump, but thinks better of it, knowing America is probably having a hard enough time forgiving himself for the others who got away.
His jaw snaps shut again and he purses his lips. Then, he wastes the emotional out that America so kindly gave him just a moment ago.] ...I was concerned it was something like when you and I disappeared.
It wasn't. [The idea of Ginger going through something like that is awful. Imagining going through it again is, too, but he'd do it a hundred times too keep Ginger away from that.] It was like... A bad thing that happened but it was small so now it's done.
[America wants to, too, though it's to check and make sure the people who jumped are there again. He sees that particular look in England's eyebrows, though.] Yeah, we should. You don't have to worry so much, y'know.
Well--of course! There definitely wouldn't be! [He's still a bit flustered, though.] ...What about Ginger? [England better not just grab her and start checking her over.]
[And England scrolls through the tablet once more. He's quiet for a moment as his eyes skim the responses to the post.] It looks like it's just people who jumped in. [Or fell in...]
[So is England, judging by his sudden silence as he regards all the usernames that have admitted to falling in somehow. The frown in his mouth becomes more pronounced.] I'm not sure that we can discount the possibility of danger completely.
[After all, when they've been split into groups before, it has rarely ended well for either group...]

England glances to his tablet, a stern furrow in his brow.] We should check the network.
