The lady. Usually it's Kol stirring people up, but seeing Cao Pi do it unintentionally is amusing. But he'll behave, so he doesn't try to rile the lady up anymore.

Despite feeling like he's being baited, Kol doesn't immediately put his hand up. What can he help with? Jokes? Pranks? He hardly doubts what he knows will be helpful, and he sincerely doubts anyone would care to learn it from him. Every time he's had his own independent thought, straying from the council of Elijah and Niklaus, he's ended up punished for it.

In some ways this may be a new start, but Kol has many bad habits and insecurities to shed.

Nodding at the suggestion of unmet skill sets being able to volunteer themselves, he continues easily, "You should consider having more than one person heading each section of this council. More than one medic is going to be needed—" he looks to Clarke and not unkindly continues, "— and I mean no offence, but there's going to be something you don't know that someone else will.

Same with defence, and whatever this training happens to be. If you don't want a reset, then we should use our best resources."

Themselves. Each other. It's common sense to him.
