Well, inspiring confidence is only one particular skill. You have the more important skill of actually being capable.
[Particularly in a place like Hadriel you can get by without the former so long as you have the latter.]
It seems she is. Though based on our discussion it would appear that our timelines do not match up. She is from a point in time later than my own, so odd as it may be it's the first time I've ever met her. But, according to her, she has been in my care for a while.
[Which would confirm that he will in fact get out of prison at some point between his last memory of home and hers.]
[Rosen is right, after all. And hm, that's interesting; he's used to the timeline weirdness thing, having been from very different times than both Brennan and Zack, but at least they'd all known who each other was. And he doesn't miss the implications about Rosen's own future, either.]
That must be a little weird, but it's also good, isn't it?
[Because of the whole apparently not ending up in prison forever thing.]
Mm... [He hums in thought, delaying his answer] ...perhaps. In some ways.
[But a lot of that is contingent on the type of future that it is. A door he's not so sure he wants to push at. So far he's asked Kat only extremely minimal questions, and has kept most of that to details about her power and her treatment.]
When Dr. Brennan was here, had her timeline matched with yours?
How did you both cope with the knowledge gap between your experiences?
[All of this actually rings a bell for Rosen, bringing to mind a conversation about whether or not Brennan knew of Lance's passing in his world. Is there something of that magnitude waiting for him in Kat's timeline?]
It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be; we just made sure we each knew what our last common memory was, and if we talked about something from home then we had to think about whether the other person would need more context or not. Otherwise, it wasn't that strange.
[But that situation had been pretty different, considering--]
But we'd known each other for years, even when Dr. Brennan was from further back; it would be a lot stranger if one of us had never met the other.

The first time, she was from two years earlier than I am. After she left and returned, she was three years ahead of me.
[And that's how he'd gotten some important answers.]
