Yes, investigate. She's becoming a prominent voice against the Inquisition and they'd like to know more about her, to figure out how to handle it. The Templar, Ser Coupe, who ran Chantry Relations and now Forces. She agreed I should do it.
Maybe. That will depend what we find and what the Inquisition is willing to do with it. It's a sort of test, to see what Coupe has the stomach for and where her priorities really lie.

If we're going to try working within the Inquisition, might as well...work within it. Our interests might align, here.

[ She knows. She also yawns, and it turns into a sigh, head turned so her forehead rests against his leg. ]
