Thankfully, the noise stopped, and Simon was able to get back up on his feet shortly after it ended.
The boy coming out of the suit was kind of a surprise - he'd not seen a robot quite like this one before, but someone coming out of one wasn't a surprise. And given the look of the green fellow, and the way he was speaking? Simon might not have the faintest clue what he's getting at, but he knows that exasperation, that tone, the gesticulation with the hands - he's seen it several times over. Leeron, Rossiu, Leite - they might not have gotten this mad, but close enough that he'll hedge his bets with Mellie.
Stepping nearer to the group, his stance is more neutral now, and he points toward Mellie by tilting his staff in her direction. When he speaks, his voice is deep, and his tone a bit weary. "I agree with the young lady about this guy not being hostile," he starts, then tilts the staff in Brainy's direction while smirking. "I can only catch about every other word, but I've seen enough decent smart guys get agitated to know what one looks like."
Sirus gets a quizzical look, though. "You're not the only one that just wandered into a big load of weirdness, guy - I wouldn't go claiming insanity just yet."
