There's a few thing Hawke is very interested at the moment. First of which being just what the hell Evandau is doing and why is he doing it. Another is information about the Vilii who seem to be the cause of this whole mess. Finally he wants to know why Evandau isn't speaking to Asti and what's going on with that.

He also might be looking to tweak the dear emperor's nose a bit because he's an adult like that. Hawke also half expects that he might 'go missing' should things go sour.
