Cole walked back into Terri's bedroom shortly after he agreed to help Krys and Cassie in their little game. "Hello Iris. It's good to see you up and about. Well, up anyway." the Mentalist said, noticing that she was still in bed When she asked him about Bobby and Eric, Del Tigre answered "I believe someone mentioned that something like that happened a little while back, yes." Cole then calmly looked the Minstrel over, wondering how she was able to know that. Could it be that she could access the 'mind gem's' powers even though it hasn't been rechagred since before we tried to save Terri, the Mentalist thought.
In any event, Cole had a feeling that later in the evening he would be needing his gem. "But yeah, now that your awake and seem to be doing much better, I really appreciate you giving me my gem back," he said while accepting his returned weapon from Silverstreak, "you know, in case Venger attacks or someone wants to shoot me with energy arrows, etcetera."
"And Iris," he added while putting the gem back in its pouch, "I don't know if some one told you this or not, but there is going to be some kind of costume ball held here in the castle later on. If you're feeling up to it then perhaps you should go."
"Oh, and if you do," Cole remembered as he was getting ready to leave, "you're a musician of sorts too, perhaps you may want to talk with Kryschenn about something she has planned for the ball."
"Okay Iris, I have to get going for reals. I got some things I need to get done before the party," he said while looking over his costume and wondering where the heck he could get a 'Ranger' costume, especially this close to the time of the ball.
((Zak? Zeo? Somebody? Perhap's Cole should just raid Hank's room and steal his? What, like he's going to wear it at a costume ball? Eek! What if Hank goes as a superhero!? Wait! They don't have costumed superheroes in the Realm. He'd look weird and out of place if he...wore something...like...that. Hmm.))
