[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.

[Simon realizes that this is better said in person... To the person... He is currently sharing a janky ass hobo residence with.
He knocks on the cloth barrier between them, urgently.]
Are you seein' this too? I mean, what is with this guy...

Perhaps they just want a kind father figure.

[Simon's nose scrunches up into a little ball.]
He did try to sell me drugs once... Oh, oh, I got it!
[He is... A little Too Proud of the conclusion he's come to.]
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.
