The Time of Angels, some more, a lot
Guys, I just went and stared at kittens for a full thirty minutes (um, maybe more. I don't know). Just staring. Which would, I'm sure, be kind of creepy if you were one of the kittens. "zomg! will it eat us? MOM!" (I went out to feed mom, and there was panic and tumbling and mewing and diving into the brush. they're very new, so they're still

She just lets other people fill in the blanks. Seems odd.
I wonder how much that is the Doctor's influence. Though, here she's very cagey, probably at least a bit on account of the whole Prison thing and whatever her agreement is with the Bishop and his concern about the Doctor finding out and not helping them (though she wouldn't necessarily know it, the last time she saw the Doctor, whenever that was, he'll have known all about whatever she's up to here).
In the Library episodes, she's vague because, I think it's as she said, he's set down rules about spoilers, because he no doubt remembers what a nosey bastard he was there. He knows better, but he couldn't help himself. It must really drive him mad to not know a large part about himself that somebody else does.
Knowing everything he knows he lets her start on her path of pestering him so apparently he thinks it is worth it (and likely for more reasons than preserving the time line).
Undoubtedly. I think that's one of the things I so like about their very odd relationship. When they each first meet the other, they start out with a history of trust (of a sort -- who knows when River first meets the Doctor, what she's up to, but he'll clearly put up with it, or at least deal with it), and though the history is only on one side at each first time, while it's a bit backwards, it's a constant, too.
I don't think he'll ever trust her just because he knows he will trust her, she's still got to earn it, but, yes, I think at some point he clearly decides that she is worth that trust and friendship, and whatever else. That's always the one of the great thing about the Doctor, he's wonderful about seeing the worth in everybody. Even if he is a bit cranky about it at first (Jack).
