That was alright, Simon intended to stick around for a while and do what he could to catch her up. There wasn't much sense in doing the breadcrumbs thing when she lacked the ability to follow up and discover any of it herself. He won't let her rest, true, but that doesn't mean he will be needlessly difficult either. It's always been with a purpose, his leading questions and hints. Driving her to discover the evidence, the truth, for herself. It would be too outlandish if he just told her, she needed to see for herself.

He nodded at her explanation, of course Simon already knew about the recorder he has that annoying habit of doing that.
