[ Bruce weighs the second half of that pretty critically, but his real thought is that he doesn't want details of the previous relationship - inappropriate, not a head in the sand denial situation.
Also that's really polished and diplomatic, but it's pretty well handled and vaguely reassuring.
He will however still be watching. Quietly and from distance. Not needing to tackle 'I will tie you to a telephone pole if you, of your own will, do hurtful things' is however mostly a relief.
So, basically he nods. ]
No one needs medical care. I don't actually need the facility, but I will absolutely walk out of here with basic medical supplies. If I'm unconscious I'm treatable. Enjoy the novelty. If I'm awake it's not worth anyone's time to try. I also want supplies on hand for Clark, because he's less likely to willingly walk in here than I am, and this place is good at making sure everyone suffers.
[Kyle knows he's skirting the question. More than that, he's sure that Bruce knows as well but he'd rather he make assumptions than for Kyle to lie to him outright.
In the end, Tim has been someone important to him and maybe he will be again but Kyle is also not making any assumptions. Unless the city interfered, they would just go on as they are and see what happens.
He just won't let things become an issue with himself and others either. Not if he can help it after what he's been through in the past. ]
We probably should do tighter inventory but we don't. I make sure supplies are kept on hand but I know that many who work here help others as well. So take what you need, though if it's from the potions I just ask you let me know, if you even try using them. They're harder to come by.
[ He's walking a fine line with Tim. He's protective and concerned, but Tim is both older than Bruce knows and has to have his head to navigate this city.
Just as importantly, while he's not 'grossed out' by Tim having sex (he finds the idea of that one weird, but he'd be uneasy around Alfred sex, too), he certainly doesn't want to know too much.
Besides, he really thinks he's going to like Kyle based on this conversation. He even smiles at the answer, in a sincere way that doesn't involve too many teeth. ]
Nothing that specialized, and nothing you couldn't find in a... field medic kit. Suture kits, IV supplies, bandages and tape. Maybe antibiotics. I'm not going to remove anyone's spleen and I don't understand magic well enough to try to use it, though it fascinates me.
[ Also, Clark's 'allergic' to it. ]
I'm also not interested in negatively impacting Haven's ability to operate. Much like why I'm sure you keep the vampire blood supply separate than the hospital's.
[ Kyle is glad to move away from other topics, though he can't help but smile as Bruce explains what it is he needs. ]
I'm sure we can make sure you have all you need then. And I'm thankful for not trying to remove anyone's spleen. I don't get enough surgical practice here as it is.
There's some that can show you magic, and maybe even teach it though the one I knew that could isn't here any longer. It had to do with hand gestures, and I'm not entirely sure how it worked.
I truly don't doubt you wouldn't harm the hospital, and you're right about that. When people come into donate, they're asked for which bank even. There's many that will help others but don't want to contribute to the vampiric side of it. That's their choice and I would never betray their trust.

[ Different issues. ]
I'll get to work tomorrow. I need to get paperwork filed in the morning so I can, but after that I'm all yours.
[ Dark joke? Yes. ]

[ He rose, offering his hand. ]
I'll see you then.
[ He has questions, and other things he wants to talk to him about but he knows there will be time for that. ]
