[ Kasumi listens to the sounds around them as they walk through the open space. Idle conversations, some music, and even laughter. Now that's something you wouldn't hear on, say, Earth. Kasumi just thinks, my god, these people really don't have any idea nor do they even care to find out about what's really going on out there.
She would never forget what it felt like to see the vids of the Reaper attack on Earth for the first time. She was on Illium, in Nos Astra, and she looked on in horror as the large screens on the trading floor, usually saturated with stock market numbers, ads, and inventories, were showing what could only be described as the utter decimation of London. She remembers the reactions around her: utter shock, disbelief, a few misguided attempts at sympathy that ultimately amounted to "At least it's not Thessia," and even a "Shepard was right all along."
When the shock wore off, she knew she had to do something. She couldn't bring herself to join Shep back on the Normandy, but all along she knew she could use her skill set for something useful for the cause. For Earth, and hell, the entire galaxy. Stealing expensive tech for the Crucible was only one thing and so was stealing otherwise-wasted money to improve conditions for refugees. Infiltrating a suspicious settlement that promises protection from the Reaper threat with frankly alarming rumors surrounding it was another, and possibly the most dangerous. And that's why she knew she had to bring Peter with her. Some jobs you just can't do all on your own--she learned that much from Shep.
She takes note of all the details in their surroundings as they make their way to their quarters with much of the same results hat Peter found when they were entering Refuge: here's a camera, there's a few guards, probable location of a secret entrance over there, and so forth.
When they finally enter the McClains' quarters, the first thing she does is look for any more suspicious elements. She wouldn't put it past this place to have hidden cameras or at the very least audio surveillance and she's sure that Peter doesn't either, and so the act continues even in the privacy of their own "home." ]

Why don't we rest first, darling?
