[Martin sees Sunny's name and finds himself tensing, ready for very bad news or censure. When it's just... gratitude, he stares at the message for a long moment.]
Oh! I'm glad that helped. Sorry, I know we shouldn't just go around telling everyone what you are, but he seemed like someone who might be especially vulnerable.
No offense!
I just know it's hard. There are a lot of strange people here with statements.
[He waffles, but ultimately adds:]
He saw an echo of the Lonely around me. I'm not sure what that means, yet. [Nothing good.]
[Martin blanches, himself, reading that. Sunny had seemed... uncomfortable looking at him, as well. He can imagine getting that kind of reaction from someone wouldn't sit well with Jon. The terse nature of the other man's response also has him fretting.]
So, I'm not sure if Sunny told you, but I met him when I couldn't help following him around. Be careful of the spinning wheels in town. It's like they're connected to the Web somehow. They make you do things.
[ Should he?? heart back??? It wasn't quite like this with Georgie, but they'd been a disaster more or less from the start, and Martin... needs different things.

I understand.
He went white when he saw me.
We'll discuss it later.

I'd noticed. I'll be careful.
[ He... doesn't know what else to say. He's still sitting here, in a stranger's home, hungry and frazzled. Text is hard??? ]
You stay safe as well. I'll be home soon, I think.

Why is he awful at this.
A long pause, and then: ]
