Kyle knew that when Bruce texted him this wasn't going to be good, and he knew he'd be here for him. He just hadn't realized how bad things had gotten for Bruce, and what he'd had to deal with.

With another, he would offer sympathy here, ask questions about how bad things were. Especially not physically. This is Bruce though, and he's learning how to scale back his natural tendencies for the comfort of batfam member Bruce.

So he considers his words carefully. "Physically how bad is it? That you're aware of?" He's pretty certain he's acutely aware of how bad it is. It's not like Bruce not to know.
