[color=ed1c24]"Well I guess the tales of the kin having no manners is true."[/color] grumbles Edusa as she turns to her new boss and cracks her knuckles. [color=ed1c24]"What's up first boss? I'll just need to-"[/color] Edusa said as Cole shook his head. [color=f7941d]"Go and get yourself ready I'm going to go and talk with Rin, the Bow Hero, and then we'll consider what we're doing tomorrow. I want to see what the citizens need me to do. If those two are off to train I want to make sure that the people know despite this little outburst I'm still a hero they can look up to."[/color] Cole says as he unbuttons his shirt breathing in deeply. [color=ed1c24]"Right gotcha boss don't worry I'll find where you are tomorrow I got a knack for knowing where people are around this city."[/color]  Edusa says giving her farewells as Cole prepares to meet with Rin and her crew, alone as it seems, as Shay's playful tone sounded off next to him he figured maybe he wouldn't be alone. Cole strolled off confidently and he had a guard show him the way to the Heroes' Tower.

[i]Some Days Later - A week has passed since initial summoning by Hans, and King Vincent.
[/i]

Cole had spent the majority of his time the past week, instead of training, mingling, and assisting the various peoples around Melromarc, the city itself has been on edge and Cole presence along with a member of the Cadet Branch of the Kingdom of Melromarc, as well as a friend in her Shay'Min has done wonders for morale. The church, the kingdom, and the Legendary Sword Hero working in tandem with the guards to deal with criminals, and inspire the troops to work hard to keep order so that the people won't be afraid when the waves inevitably hit. The apocalypse was preventable, and it was the duty of every citizen to not bring panic, but a sense of stability to their every day activities. To not harm their neighbors, and to overall be the best human being they could be. Working was not all helping in soup kitchens, or visiting hospitals, or talking in the town square. He had also done his best to stop criminals, and had spent a few of the the nights training with Marcino alongside Rin improving his ability but not quite as much as he'd like. He had been working too hard to keep everyone in a good spirit which left him little time to improve his own techniques. 

As of the moment Cole stood in the middle of the Square his 'new' teammate Edusa dressed in a steel chest plate, spiked knuckle gloves covering her hands, and a headband protecting her forehead. The Spear Hero had returned recently. His exploits had apparently been in tracking down a group of rogue mages trying to cause a shift in control of Melromarc. The mages he had found were weak according to the report given to him by a member of King Vincent's own. They were grunts but had leaked out the important fact that something was happening. And it would happen soon. It was odd to try and attack a city when all the guards were on high alert but...he supposed terrorists would be terrorists. Rin had positioned herself in the southern half of the town along the battlements for the day. The Spear would be meeting up with him and those with Cole soon enough. [color=ed1c24]"Hey boss you know I get we got here a bit early but...couldn't we have stopped to eat lunch on the way here?"[/color] Edusa grumbled as she scratches her head. Cole shrugged, [color=f7941d]"I can't help it if the Spear take his time but if you wanna go get us something to eat I wouldn't mind Edusa."[/color] Cole states as the tomboyish girl grumbles in boredom. [color=ed1c24]"Shay's helping at the hospital today so I guess all I got to hope for now is that the spear is fun I guess. Can't wait for next training though. I had fun trying to hit Marcino. Wasn't expecting that old fuck to be so quick."[/color] comments Edusa as Cole nods impressed with how she had handled herself the very close range combatant was brutal. Her strikes hit hard, and she didn't compromise footwork with her strikes. By all accounts Cole felt glad to have her by his side. It meant enemies would need to worry about two close range threats with Auriel at middle range...though he had seen little of her the past few days. [color=ed1c24]"UGH! I just hope the almighty spear gets here soon."[/color] Edusa says probably in all likelihood faux admiration.
