[Food is a great common denominator, and Ace loves food more than almost anything else. So if he's not pushed aside or told to go away, he'll probably join Cooper for a meal.]

Yeah, sure! Ace is my name, so go for it. [He might notice that Ace's accent is odd, not English or American.] Are you okay with me callin' you Cooper? Since we're on a first name basis now? [He assumes that it's Dale's first name.]
