You don't have to come down if you're safe. Are you safe?
[She keeps her voice as steady as she can, straightening up a little.]
I'm okay - I'll be okay. There are people around that I'm in touch with. I'll be back up north in a few days, okay?

[Kid hesitates, and it's audible on the voice feed--a sharp breath in as he thinks.]
I imagine it's a bit of both. It's much worse now, but even before...it was difficult to read a large block of text. It made the dizziness much worse. [He coughs hard, and his head audibly thunks against the wall he's leaning against.] The dizzy spells have gotten worse overall, too.

You really shouldn't be traveling on your own in a state like that.
[There's little background noise in his own messages, aside from the faint crunch of boots over snow and the occasional, more audible breath of air.]
Are you by yourself? I hadn't heard anything about you meeting up with another group. [And he keeps his eyes and ears on the network fairly religiously.]

Are you stalking me, Undertaker?
[Kid sounds remarkably amused for his comment, despite suggesting that an ex-reaper might be stalking his actions.]
Though you've heard correctly--I have not met up with anyone else.

Thankfully you seem to be very good at it. From who would I get the local gossip?

I've had a lot of practice! [He sounds way, way too chipper in admitting that.] But you don't have to look far. People here are extremely chatty~
If you're anywhere near the residential area, I can spare a day or two in coming to collect you. I'm on my way to restock on rations at the moment.

[Kid tries to sound like a haughty teenager, but the act is ruined by the hacking cough.]
Collect me? You think I'm unable to manage alone?

I'll have you know I've done neither, and I have spent plenty of time alone here.
[Even if he did just admit that he's been sick and getting sicker--he's still sure he's not doing that bad.
Maybe.]

Relax, I was just kidding around~
[Though his snicker says he may not be too genuine about that. Even so...] I think you probably could fend for yourself, actually. You aren't a helpless child~
Just old enough to want to be taken as an adult, or am I wrong?

[Kid chooses not to answer her quotation about safety. Not only can he not know for certain, but the Joker is running around in a murderous rampage--so he can't be sure anyway.
Instead he coughs, unchanged from their last interaction.] You need to find a person as soon as you're able. I might be able to get to you in a few days..but I'm not sure if that's fast enough. It depends on what your revival cost has been.
[His voice is urgent, but not overwhelmingly anxious--just concerned.] I...want to be able to help you, if I can. Please.

I'm going to meet up with people. Rhys and Angel. They're close to me, and they can help me.
[Her voice is soft, her need to reassure him taking over her own panic.]
It's your decision, Kid. We can meet up, I'd like that, of course. But I have things I'd like to do as soon as possible, and Angel and Rhys might be with me. Do you mind?

Don't be surprised if you see my name on the obituary. I'm going to be conducting an experiment.

what are you talking about
why would you try an experiment that
what do you mean might
where are you
who is going to help

[Such a pity that the speech-to-text function isn't conveying that Kid is all but shouting the "what?!" at his tablet and stumbling through his response.]

I am worrying
what experiment
what are you doing
at least tell me so I can know what results to look for
if you are expecting death you could miss the outcome
I am halfway across town there is nothing I can do
is someone helping you with your work
an assistant can help log your data
[APPEAL TO HIS SCIENTIFIC SIDE??]

The only way I'll miss the results is if I don't come back.
Stein
why
why are you telling me this if you won't tell me what you are doing
why bother

If it works, I'll let you know. If it doesn't work, this won't matter. Watson is more than qualified to assist me, you'd just be in the way.
I don't understand
what sort of experiment is doctor Watson going to

[Oh. There's a pause, even in the delivery of text, as Kid starts to think about just what Stein might have reached out to Watson for. Watson, the only other doctor in Norfinbury who he trusted.
It's good text can't translate his panicked gasp. That's good.]
oh
It's good text can't translate his panicked gasp. That's good.]
oh
[Don't panic. What is he going to say?]
your probably right
I will just be in the way
doctor Watson is very qualified
don't do something you will regret

I hope I won't.
This is a risk I have to take. At this point, I don't have any other options.
