He shakes his head a little at the expression of gratitude, finding it unnecessary.
"I think you'd agree better this than the alternative of someone else finding you and making a scene over it." No doubt another Star Child would be sent into a panic to find him as bloody of a mess as he was passed out near the train station. Assuming he even made it that far, of course. Vergil isn't unconvinced that he wouldn't have made it more than a few steps before his legs gave out on him from the loss of blood alone. So, if he thinks Vergil is insistent and a pest when it comes to taking care of himself after their fights, he would be in for quite the rude awakening if anyone else with less familiarity with him were to find him. At least Vergil's willing to offer a modicum of trust in Mizu that when he says he will be fine, he's able to believe it. "I hope we can..."
He almost says see one another again, but it feels immediately foolish and causes him to stay his tongue. To Vergil, it's a childish thing to say even if he does enjoy Mizu's company and there is perhaps something here that could be considered a comradery of sorts. Besides, Mizu's focus is on his own goals and his own aims. Not to say that he hasn't been willing to lend Vergil a bit of a hand now and again or that he's been opposed to any time they spend outside of what directly links to those goals, but only a fool would entirely ignoring Mizu's motivations. And Vergil would do well to remember that, he thinks. Lest he get ahead of himself and make a less safe assumption that leads to a tension or fracture in things. He would hate to lose Mizu's company because he chose to be overzealous.
Vergil looks away for a brief moment before he corrects himself, "I hope we can spar again soon."
The sentiment is no less sincere even if it wasn't entirely what he intended to say at first.
