[ If she's wary of Norrington, it's not without reason.
The man's by all accounts a prodigy, but he’s also barely thirty, a northerner, and accustomed to solving problems with a branch and a rope. A good Chantry boy, is what all the intel says. A good, angry Chantry boy.
As though there were any other kind.
The request she brings is a simple one, but its true intent is introduction, a means to test the waters. He's an ally they can't afford to alienate. It’ll be a delicate balance to strike: the propriety of deference, and the silent implication that she wasn’t sent to take his orders. ] Commander,
This is Knight-Lieutenant Luwenna Coupe, late of the White Spire. I attend the Inquisition at the behest of an alliance of Chantry Mothers wishing to support its efforts against Corypheus.
If your schedule permits, perhaps we might discuss the events which recently unfolded at Halamshiral. I am given to understand that a Red host aided the Freemen; if you or your men have identified any bodies, it may be of assistance to an ongoing investigation and to the notification of their kin.
Respectfully, — Ser Coupe

[Norrington read the request, then rolled up the parchment. Tapping the roll against his lips, he sighed quietly.
So the Mothers had sent their own agent. Troubling, but understandable. So it would be in his own best interests to keep the peace and offer her whatever help he could.]
Knight-Lieutenant,
Good afternoon. I would be pleased to speak with you about the events of Halamshiral. My schedule is rather full, so I would have to schedule you in a gap between the morning and afternoon trainings.
Respectfully, Knight-Commander Norrington
would log comm or inbox work better for you? either's good by me!
Thank you. In such times as these, it is heartening to know that one's cause rests in capable hands.
[ Hands unlikely to hare off with a private army. But then, no one would have thought Lucius or Lambert candidates for betrayal. The price of power must always include scrutiny. ]
If it will not pose a disruption to the morning drills, I would be grateful for the opportunity to observe the New Order in action before our talks. It has been some time since I last sparred with a brother in arms.
Well, in these difficult times, we should come together, as Andraste bades we should.
[If one considered his army consisted now of three to four Templars, well then yes, he was truly to be feared.]
Oh, please feel free to come and observe. I am running the new Inquisition recruits through how to kill demons. I would be interested in anything you could add to the lesson.
[You could always better understand your allies, and your enemies, once you saw them fight.]

works great!
For all who walk in the sight of the Maker are one.
[ How quickly some numbers might multiply, as the Inquisition gains legitimacy. Best to keep ahead of these things. ]
I look forward to it.
