He's just giving Simon a long, increasingly exasperated, judgmental look.

Then his eyebrows go up, and he takes another swallow of his drink just to deal with having had to listen to that.

Yeah, that's a look Simon is used to.

He actually smiles at that as he looks back down at the bar, but it's bitter and small.

"I'm sure you've noticed my sister has a difficult time communicating. A side-effect." Simon takes a deep breath, sighs outward, and says, "From what I've seen of Chicago so far, either that's exactly what happened or it's a metaphor for something worse that I haven't managed to figure out yet. Maybe for something she doesn't even understand."

River doesn't remember it, because she never lived it, but Simon can't help but think of her cuffed to the floor of the ship's pantry telling him, I don't know what I'm saying, I never know what I'm saying. Remembers the sense some of the things she'd said had made once they found Miranda. He worries.
