Hold the phones. He can heal, too? The phrasing suggests this is an actual power of some sort, rather than the let's-pop-some-Vicodin-and-hope-for-the-best sort of healing Joker himself typically performs. Can Skipper heal others, he wonders, or only himself? Either way, it bumps him up nicely on the list of Joker's new favorite people.
There are so many conversations they're going to need to have.
But not right at this moment, when it might give the (very accurate) impression that Joker's interested in pursuing a friendship due to ulterior motives. No, the what can you do for me talk will be best undergone in a more casual, relaxed setting, ideally after they've had time to chit-chat about this or that. Over some takeout, maybe. While watching something inane. When they haven't, you know, just fled the scene of someone having his face taken off.
That sounds like a plan.
"I'm fine, perfectly fine." Joker frowns, as if contemplating this. "Thanks to you."
He shakes his head slightly. "You know, I can count on one hand the number of times someone's put themselves in danger just to make sure I was all right." That's a lie, but he tells it with apparent sincerity. "And you're a stranger, at that. They really do make 'em different where you're from, don't they?"
