Amalia
the archangel
Unexpected and unpleasant, the sudden resistance to traveling with her to the Grounds. First there is Remi's promise to the newly-minted Ascended Queen, then Ronin's stark refusal to allow Seren to go without him, causing Amalia to frown. Looking between Ronin and Seren, the Angel attempts to interject. "I can fly us there without anyone knowing," she points out, "And Seren will leave at the first sign of trouble." This is directed more to the starchild, firmness in Amalia's voice.
To Mildew she nods. "Anything you can hear in the Wilds would be helpful. Maybe Frey would know more...?" is addressed to both Phoebe and Mildew.
But things are growing tense in the Taliesin troupe, and the whole who will go to Halo discussion is setting Amalia on edge. Not a fan of Morgan to begin with, Amalia is more inclined to fall on Ronin's side of things. But... "I can carry fire magic in my shield and stone," she points out, "But I agree with petitioning Tanau. Though if we don't plan to tell Morgan, both a seasonal god and a kraken may take away any subtlety..."
Rubbing at her temples, Amalia sighs. She had hoped this would be... easy? Pleasant? That they would join her in a crusade, not squabble amongst themselves. "Okay. Two trips, one to the Sea of Glass, one to the Underground. We should do both before LongNight. Seren, what do you want to do for your venture? I'll support what you decide." She looks at the young woman, trying very hard to convey you got this over the overbearing auras of her fathers. "Phoebe, Mildew- can you ask Frey what they know? And look to the Wilds for signs of the relics?" The two demigoddesses are far more attuned to the natural world than anyone else. If there are secrets hidden among the Wilds, she believes they are sure to learn them.
"I will go to the Library as soon as possible. Anyone who wishes to join, let me know. I'll ask Safrin for advice- unless you want to," she adds to Ronin and Seren deferentially. "I think... I will ask Deimos to come. He's been there before." This is said more quietly, her eyes falling to the table as anxiety rises in her chest. Her fingers are clutching at her thighs beneath the table, but above it? She tries to keep her face composed, her expression focused.
Oh, how she tries.

Oh, how she tries.
she's just like the weather
can't hold her together
can't hold her together
