Normally Allura would be going down with the rest of the expedition. However, envy's one of the emotions that Allura has the least experience with outside of a ritual, so she's not sure her dunamis would be that effective down below.

Yes, he has a tendency to flap about, but Allura's first and most common impression of him is when he's serene, perhaps a bit coy or maybe a bit grumpy, depending on the mood, but usually the sparkling is just icing on top of a self assured cake. (Oh, if only she knew.)
