Follow up

Hi, such a situation: She is listening to her friend telling bad staff about another person. Instead of cutting it off she follows up with some questions thus getting kindled by the rumors.

My question is: Can we use in this context the verb follow up. It's not an interview where this verb is often met, it's something like cusual, everyday situation.

Thank you.
