Fer considered the question posed to him.  He had very little interaction with the spear who had left almost as quickly as he himself had appeared in this world.  There seemed to be no animosity or bad blood in the departure.  Indeed, the Spear had seemed level headed and even was able to pull an entourage with him which meant that at least some people of this world found him trustworthy.  

He knew even less of the bow hero beside the comments of both Cole and Marcino.  What he heard however, did not leave a good impression.  As far as warriors went, apparently, she was very good.  It was in the interaction between people that she seemed to be lacking.  Fer was never one for sensibilities despite his usually calm and helpful attitude.  

His friend was right, teamwork for the sake of survival, not just their own but of the world, would be critical.  In truth, Fer had forgotten at times that two other heroes existed except for the time that Auriel or Cole mentioned them.  He had enjoyed their small group’s dynamic.  But his childish desires were trumped by cold hard real-world needs. 

He sighed as he prepared to respond to Cole.  His voice had a resigned tone that told of the unwillingness to do what his words said but his conviction to do it for the greater good. [color=0054a6] “IF there is a way to speak to them and IF we manage to get them to work with us in a sort of loose alliance.  Our survival chances will increase.  We do need more fire power Cole and just you and Auriel in the vanguard may not be enough.”  [/color]

He paused for a second collecting his thoughts.  If the bow was indeed such a jerk then her addition to the party might do more harm than good.  But from what he had heard, the waves were named thus because they came in predictable and timed patterns.  Perhaps there was a way to work with them during the waves and allow for the freedom of everyone following their own paths while in the lull between the waves. 

[color=0054a6]“It would be great to have us work together in perfect synchrony but I don think that is possible.  So, if we can at least fight in a loosely based plan with certain teams doing certain tasks then we should be able to fight effectively.  It would take too much cooperation to fight efficiently but we can at least cover each other’s backs.  I hope we can at least trust them enough for that.”  [/color]

He looked at his fellow hero.  [color=0054a6]“Do you think that you are charming enough to win them over to our side?”[/color]  His tone was playful. [color=0054a6] “Or do you know them enough to perhaps offer some sort of deal or incentive?”[/color]  Fer shrugged.  [color=0054a6]“The least we can do is try and talk to them.  If nothing comes of it, then we go back to being separate cells and hope that we survive.” [/color]
