[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.

I'm already all patched up and good to go.
