Seren
Phoebe's departure surprised Seren. She had been so wrapped up in her battle against her own family that she didn't realize another was also waging war - and much the same one, too. For recognition, and respect. Carefully setting the mug aside, she placed her hands on the table and stood, palms flat against the wood. A glance shared with Amalia did bolster her, the support silent and much appreciated.
"I was under the impression that this task was given to me," she said, looking straight at Ronin, and then Remi. "While I appreciate your eagerness to help, you are both being incredibly disrespectful. Not only do you ignore my opinion, you are excluding a party member I have already invited without consulting me, inviting another, not to mention making changes to what should be done - also without consulting me." She leveled her gaze at Ronin, expression flat with disappointment. "You keep saying that you believe in me. But now that I try to act, you treat me like a child that needs a babysitter and can't be trusted to make informed choices. Make up your damn mind, please. And stop walking all over me like I'm not even here, if you ever want me to ask you along on anything again."
Gritting her teeth as she bit back the flaring temper, Seren straightened up. "You seem to be extremely prejudiced against Deimos participation. Very well; if Tanau agrees to lend aid, I will accept your judgement. But only after you have a definite bargain to show as a replacement. Amalia, you know your strengths best; prepare as you see fit. I will come with you to the Grounds," she fixed her father with a steely glare here, "and if anything happens I will return here right away."
Something for something - she hated it, but if they wouldn't listen to her, Seren didn't see why she had to obey either.

I'm ready to start the conquest of spaces
Reaching the starlight and silver fields
