Cole snickered as he looked over to Rivia, and nodded his head. [color=f7941d]"By all means take your time, and enjoy yourself after all this whole party is being thrown in the honor of us. Being a new member to the party is good to foster good relations within the party. Even if Fer seems to be more popular with the ladies than I am."[/color] Cole said with a good hearted smile as he looked over to Auriel and had to blink a few times before he noticed the wings. [color=f7941d]"So you don't just wear battle armor all day, and work at the church? And here I thought you'd have given up, and decided we were better off getting drunk by ourselves."[/color] Cole says to Auriel as he looks over her taking in the change of clothes. He had only really seen her in her battle gear, and casual outfit, and the look change at least made it clear she wasn't all business. [color=f7941d]"I'm not sure if Rivia would rather introduce herself but...she's the newest addition to our little party. The king seemed to have found another young adventurer not take up by Matsunaga, or The Spear Hero. It looks like we'll be travelling together soon...then again I remember that dude from the bounty office, and how he vanished and got lost in the woods so...who knows."[/color] Cole said shrugging as he tried to remember what exactly happened to that person. He just kind of...wandered off? Who knew? More important now would be a better time to focus on the matters at hand.

[color=f7941d]"It looks like Ferr, and Rivia will be having a brief dance. I hope that doesn't matter to the shield hero's one and only true party member."[/color] Cole says to her as he wonders if that would make Auriel think a little bit more of the scenario at hand in the matter. He wasn't exactly sure if Rivia even cared, or knew what was going on but he may as well air out things before something happened.
