[He blushes a bit as she gives him a once over, a hand coming up to scratch the back of his head. He's fine, though, as he moves with the same ease as always.]
I'm fine. [But after that cursury examination, he sits down on the couch, then motions for Milly to join him.]
You know, I'm not even sure what the fight was about. I just... I was really in the mood to get physical with someone. I should've-- [gone to see Euphie is what he wants to say, but he's not sure where he and Milly are at in their relationship given the kiss, so he just cuts himself off and shakes his head.]
Anyway, I cross paths with some guy in the street, he's also a Sanguis. He gives me attitude, I give it back, then he grabs me, I kick him, then we brawl in the middle of the street until the Moon Knights broke it up.
[of course he's fine. he's practically indestructible. still, she would've liked to give him a couple kisses to make him feel better.
when she sits on the couch with him, she's eager to hear his story, elbows on her knees, chin in her hands as she listens, gasping as she is surprised he threw down in public, and had to separated by force. those knights must be incredibly strong, too... is everyone just overpowered here? where's her muscles, huh? she must've gotten a dash of extra beauty instead of brawn.]
Sounds [sexy] exciting! I really do hope both of you boys are okay. Still, I gotta know-- you did win, right?
[Honestly, he wishes he could answer with a definitive yes, but...]
The Moon Knights got between us before there could be a winner. And... I'm not the Knight of Zero here. I don't have license to cut down whatever gets in my way.
[It was less that the Moon Knights stopped him, so much as cutting a them down to get to his opponent wasn't something he felt he should do.]
We'll call it 'unfinished business' for now.
[He clearly isn't thrilled by that outcome, and even if Sanguis has set for now, there's a part of him that wants to hunt down this guy, this 'Cloud Strife' and finish what they started.]
Hmm. A match for another day. [she's a little disappointed by this answer, but it's probably best this way. wouldn't want anyone to get into too much trouble (at least, not in any trouble she's not invited to). even as he frowns, she offers him a gentle smile, and and scoots closer to him to place a hand on his shoulder.]
How about next time, you let me know when this is going down, and I'll be your cheerleader, or your captive audience. [a laugh, ever so slightly.] Knight of Zero or not, I know you're quite a force!
[Despite the subject, her reaction does get a smile out of him, even if its a small one. Reaching across his body, he places his hand on top of hers, and gives it a squeeze.]
I didn't think you were that big of a fan of fighting. But it'd be nice to have a nurse on hand.
If I get hurt, you can always kiss it and make it better.
[grinning, she gives him a little shrug, hand flipping over to hold his gently.] Well, truth be told, I'm not super into it, but I'm a fan of you, so I've got to support you!
[but enough of that, because she's laughing, eyes alight with mischief.] It's true, I can! Any scrapes or bruises I need to take a look at now? I can patch you up in no time.
[He does have a Princess to look after his sometimes stupid self, a thought that makes him feel a bit guilty for being here with Milly like this, given...]
But since you're back now, what do you want to do for your birthday?
[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.
the question of her birthday gets her to straighten up, taking her free hand to place a finger on his lips.] Ah, ah! This is supposed to be about your birthday, and what you want to do for yours! 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?
Considering that-- [that I'm supposed to be dead is what he wants to say, but Milly isn't in on the plan. So after a brief pause, he clears his throat.] --that this is really the first time since I was ten that I even had people around who would celebrate my birthday, I think I'm happy with that.
[Being an Eleven really sucked those years. ALL HAIL BRITANNIA.]
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.
