"Then don't tell her you'll be alright."

He knows it sounds counterintuitive, so he doesn't wait long before explaining. "She knows you can't guarantee that, so of course it will only sound empty. What she needs to know is that you'll try to keep yourself safe - that you'll do what you can to come back."

Ginko takes a small step forward, and sets his free hand on Joker's shoulder. "And then you need to keep to that."

He's pretty sure they both know that what Joker does or doesn't say isn't really the problem here, when it comes down to it.
