"Ohhh, that feels nice, just like a Midheal from back home." He sighs, the tension draining out of him along with the pain. Being affectionately lectured is also nostalgic. He wipes at his face - he's got a handkerchief on him by now.

"This isn't even the worst I've been hurt from letting a girl kiss me in the woods, just so you know. If I let this kind of thing scare me off, I really would be stupid."

He did make a big fuss over what's a minor injury by his standards, and he feels, if not stupid, extremely sheepish right now.
