She's getting sidetracked, here.  Probably because Isabella is being her host and incredibly generous to a stranger without - apparently, this part itself is bizarre - any expectation that Thellim will be able to parlay her knowledge into trillionaire status and repay her - and Thellim isn't sure if that support gets shut off if she says the wrong thing - which means that she has a lot of things she wants to say back to Isabella on certain subjects, and has been suppressing herself from saying, because it may not be safe.

Thellim acknowledges this feeling; tells the feeling that it will have a chance to speak again later, when she understands her relationship with Isabella more solidly; and turns her attention back to analyzing Earth.

She's getting sidetracked, here.  Probably because Isabella is being her host and incredibly generous to a stranger without - apparently, this part itself is bizarre - any expectation that Thellim will be able to parlay her knowledge into trillionaire status and repay her.  But sometimes Isabella acts disapproving, and doesn't seem to want to clarify their relationship with more explicit terms; which makes Thellim feel unsure whether maybe the support gets shut off, if she says the wrong thing.  Thellim is more dependent on Isabella, right now, than she's been dependent on anyone since she was eight years old and passed the tests for initial-level economic self-determination.  Which means that Thellim has things she wants to say back to Isabella on certain subjects, but has been suppressing herself from saying, because it may or may not be safe; which means those rejoinders keep running through her mind, a loop of cognition that can't complete itself.
