Well, I don't think an apology's really necessary, seeing as how I haven't actually wronged her in any way... [All things considered, it's not entirely anyone else's business if he gets... hit by a car...] She'd probably just worry needlessly, so might as well spare both of us that, right?
[He grins, waving a hand.]
Since like I said, I'm honestly fine! I'm sorry if I concerned you, but that's the truth.
[As it is, and not merely pride on his part: in the time that they've had this conversation, his already superficial injuries have recovered a fair amount. While there's still some bruising, if he tried to go to a clinic now, he'd just end up having to walk back out, as there's nothing left to be treated.
He may not like accepting help from others, but he's been in enough fights to know what his capabilities are, and while getting hit by a car hurts, he's dealt with worse.]
