Inessa won't insist on Kain; her own feelings aside, she's aware that the task is less likely to suit him, plus they don't know how his shard will react. So she'll be content with the thought of having at least Garahel and Ciri alongside her then. It'd almost be like old times.
Her lips form a thin line as her thoughts linger on Weisshaupt. It's never a pleasant subject, but she did bring it up first. "I was quite idealistic, in the beginning. Joining the Grey Wardens was my way of repaying a perceived debt, and I was pleased to contribute to their cause. I had no reason to doubt any of my superiors at first, but Warden-Commander Clarel's grand plan changed everything.
I wasn't made aware of its full extent at first, but as friends among the order began disappearing or were no longer themselves, I dug deeper and was horrified by what I found. The Calling scared me, scared all of us...but Clarel's plan wasn't a solution; it was pure madness. Taking the lead of an obviously scheming magister, allowing blood sacrifice for the purpose of summoning a demon army? It would have made us enemies of all Thedas. I refused to assist, naively believing that few would stand for it. Unfortunately, I was wrong and those I had trusted imprisoned us." Garahel growls quietly at that, all sorts of tense as he remembers it, too. "If the Inquisition's agents had not intervened when they had, we would have remained at their 'mercy'."
