[Mayhaps because his thoughts went straight to violent rebellion but.] That could be very useful in the long run. Not to mention it could potentially lesson the distress of new arrivals if done right.
I thought so, given how enthusiastic you were during your discussion on Clarke's post.
[ yeah she sees u buddy. ]
That's my intention, yes. I'm also looking into the compliance drug; pending on when we'll be able to contact Henries, ideally, I'll eventually be able to create an antidote for future new arrivals. Since my technological knowledge is rather limited at the moment, this will take some time, but I hope the new arrivals may give me some insight. For now, having a consistent presence and being able to give them a grasp of their situation before arriving at the safe house would at least mitigate some of the tension.
You gave this much thought. Not that I had any doubt you would. [She seems like the type of person who is miles ahead when you've only just taken a step. A valuable ally to be sure. But he's sleeping with one eye open for now.] I agree to this, then.
We all have our ways of dealing with situations such as getting taken from our homes, drugged to compliance, and then locked in a safe house. Some of us have passionate discussions over the network, some of us throw ourselves into work.
But, thank you. There's a few others I need to reach out to, but you will hear from me again shortly.
No reason, just that I can't be certain these will be good. Who knows, it could prove to be poisonous to you. Fortunately, I am a doctor, so should things take a turn for the worse, I will be there to help. I understand, however, if you'd rather not take the risk.
[Luckily Fenris isn't sleeping, because most of the time he just...doesn't. Especially not with someone so nearby, whether he trusts him or not. Besides, someone has to keep watch.
And yes, he did indeed see the post, though he chose not to comment on it.
His tone is dry, though what he says is...a genuine attempt at trying to understand.]
[Cue a quick glance from Simon who is... Bad at people but not missing that beat. Daddy issues, much? Maybe. It would explain some of the crankiness.]
Okay, so!
[For someone who supposedly doesn't trust adults, Simon seems markedly comfortable around Fenris. Maybe it was the fact that the other hadn't been too shaken up about Simon's awful behavior during their first meeting, or maybe it was the fact that he was a really cool elf man who could do impressive Fight Stuff.]
I think I've got it narrowed down to a few hypotheses. The first being-
Maybe it's some kinda slang for the head of a pharmaceutical company? Sugar is a compound that can be easily constructed in most laboratory settings, and... It is like, one of the most basic of basic compounds, so... I guess that makes sense?
[Simon utters a confused murmur. Whimper-murmur. A somewhat unintelligible noise.]
[Quite frankly, Simon has already lost Fenris. A compound in a laboratory? The only labs he has ever seen and been in weren't housing sugar.
He huffs, because that's what he does when he doesn't understand things. It's frustrating.]
I'm sure it's something utterly foolish. [So if anything he guesses after this is wrong, he can almost be certain that's correct.] If they're not looking for a kind father figure or some kind of...sugar artisan...perhaps it is slang for something illegal.

I have also spoken to someone who has been here longer and wishes to see change. We can discuss that when next we speak.
Until then.

That is, if you're brave enough to try.

A supplier! He's looking for a supplier, of course! That would explain all the coded chemistry nonsense...
It all makes sense now! That's gotta be it.
