Up til the Sanctuary, pretty much, Kate's life was a train wreck. But for most of it, she'd been conducting the train. It'd been shitty but shitty within her control. Listening to Imri, Kate knows it's all a bunch of crap - her life, her problems. Petty stuff. Her own bad choices. Sounds to her like that's the one thing Imri's never had is a choice. Just other people pushing him around like a chess piece. Other people deciding who he's supposed to be.
It's kind of strange but it reminds her of Henry a little. How he's a HAP and he didn't get a choice about that and he can't help that there's a side of him that's a wolfman and he fought it for so long. She doesn't say anything now, but she decides she'll tell Imri about that, and maybe about Biggie and Father Jensen.
She's not stupid, though. She knows there's more to the story and from what she's picked up about Alcuin, she knows it'll end up being about sex. Politics and power always go together with sex. But even more than usual in Terre d'Ange. Plus, he wouldn't be telling her if it didn't have something to do with why he slammed on the brakes.
So she stays quiet and listens, trying to remember the names, the details, the people. It's not her thing. History and shit like that. But either Lilo's got her thinking about ohana and remembering or Kate feels like if she's the witness, the one who gets to hear this (and it is 'gets to', whatever the reason and no matter how fucked up the story, Imri's trusting her with something secret and no one knows the value of secret truths more than a con), the least she can do is remember.
