Cole was looking, but not exactly seeing, and hearing, but not listening. He continued to watch the activity going on in the arena as green hair went up against sword. He could pick up some commotion coming from the back, though, he still was not in the mood to trouble himself by turning around to see what it was all about. He kept his gaze fixed on the arena, and it was not long before something unusual happening fully caught his attention.

Luxianne had stopped, and she was speaking to Eric. Was she... handing him his weapon? Were they not supposed to go all out? Why would she-

Some movement near him then interrupted his thoughts. Someone was speaking to him. He turned to the other blonde who had seated herself in front of him, with an eyebrow raised. He did not recognize her. Well, that did not matter, because she had just introduced herself. Cole decided that it would be polite enough to just do the same.

"Serenity..." he repeated, to make sure he had gotten it right, especially in his state of mind right now. "Pleasure, my name is Cole."
