[even though he says he's fine, she still leans in to inspect what she can of him, which is mostly his face and hands, and those look okay. so he doesn't have to worry about a follow-up with her.

If we were talking about mine-- which we're not-- but if we were, I'd tell you I'm still hoping for that masquerade ball [there's a sly smile for that.] but that's not being discussed. I'm focused all on you right now. What do you actually want for your birthday?

But, since you're insisting on making me ask for something for my birthday, since we're not talking about your birthday and the masquerade party that you want to have that I've already put in my share of the deposit for, then maybe a nice trip out of the city? I don't know if we can outrun the craziness, but I hear the mountains of Amegahara are nice this time of year.
