"Alright so you're a melee contestant? Was kind of hoping for a magical sort we got a lot of melee in the group. Well at least we'll be consistent in our rush attack. I suppose we should start looking around for a ranger, or someone who can use magic to bolster our front. But...that's a bit hard I don't really want someone who's just using Fer, and I as living reputation boosters. I understand we need everyone but people motivated by greed doesn't exactly make me feel safe." Cole states as he looks directly towards Rivia he adjusts his fancy clothes slightly he speaks to her with a serious but sincere tone.
"Don't mistake my comments just now as a disregard for you though. With every additional person who is willing to help us fulfill our purpose the closer we get to beating the upcoming waves. I'd like it if we could be friends as well Rivia, but for now we should enjoy the festivities while they last? So...would you like to dance?" Cole says offering his hand figuring it would be a possible start to something given the circumstances sure the other nobles would look down on him. Cole however was the sword hero an individual who was meant to smite chaos and darkness. Maybe a few would reconsider their stance if they saw him with Rivia.
"Of course this is just an offer. If you'd prefer to just sit back and drink, or eat or what have you then feel free to. But this is a once in a lifetime thing may as well make the best of it. Unless you're afraid you got two left feet." Cole says lightening up his tone a bit with a chuckle, and a then a brief laugh. "Wouldn't suggest dancing with Fer though our dear shield hero is incapable of dancing for fear upstaging me." Cole says sarcastically his hand still offered to Rivia.
