[ she doubts any of these things would convince klaus to leave her be. she has nothing up her sleeve. all she has is herself — and that's what klaus wants. it'd be easier to believe elijah's lying, but he's always only omitted information, perhaps speaking in circles to make it appear as though he's talking to her when he's simply making noise. klaus has lied, but elijah never has. what would he gain from lying to her about attaining the one thing she's so desperate for? ]
What did it say?
[ she can only assume elijah has read it. but she's not a big enough fool to believe he'll merely tell her due to her voice being softer. like his brother, if he has nothing to gain, his lips are sealed. ]
[It is only natural that Katerina would want to know the one piece of information she would come to possess that could derail the great and terrible Niklaus Mikaelson. As much as he would like to talk about the baby Hope Mikaelson who managed to unite the remaining Mikaelsons, he must continue the ruse of her death and keep her very existence a secret from the woman who revealed her to them in the first place.]
That a witch in New Orleans was attempting to make a move against him. [In her own words, no less.] She had information that successfully managed to remove Niklaus from your trail.
[ it isn't lost on katherine that he doesn't tell her what. it makes her think — perhaps elijah doesn't want her to have that piece of information, fearful she'll use it against him, or maybe it's merely something he doesn't know himself, as klaus had never quite seemed to respect elijah to the degree elijah apparently and stupidly respects his brother. it's the latter she believes in, elijah perhaps reading her letter she had signed klaus' name to, or maybe she had read it to him as a parting farewell, ensuring the noble elijah mikaelson were to deliver her letter knowing it would secure her the very thing she wanted — and the very thing he never quite did. it isn't about them — if it were, she thinks elijah would've told her so, feeding that stupid and naive human girl who had believed in love until it had consumed her whole and spat out something else entirely. their love has never been enough, whether it's in the form of a nobleman infatuated with a familiar face or a villainess softening and allowing her humanity to cripple her for a man she sometimes doesn't think she recognises. ]
It sounds too good to be true.
[ honestly. had god finally looked down upon her and deemed her worthy of his own kind hand? she highly doubts that; no divinity has ever been on katerina petrova's — or even katherine pierce's — side. there's no one looking out for her but herself. not even elijah — he's informing her of this to regain her trust and her allegiance. she isn't as naive and dumb as elena gilbert, believing the best in people when she has become all too familiar with their vicious side. elijah has never wanted her to have her freedom as it had taken her far, far away from him. ]
[ she doesn't want to think about it at all. her tone is harder, disbelieving, as katherine pierce is not katerina petrova and does not believe in such fanciful and unattainable things. five hundred years of running and she has finally caught what she has been chasing? this particular game will never be over, unlike theirs where she believes he'd thrown in the towel a long, long time ago. ]
How long will this freedom last, Elijah? Five days? Five weeks? Five centuries?

[No, he isn't saying what.]
You obtained your own freedom, Katerina.
