Stryker felt certain pleasure from this. If the sha could succumb this easily now, just imagine what he could do with the pain the Ardent would put him through. Hearing the former slave, and soon to be current, speak his name so viciously was pleasing. That meant he was making his mark. If he could ingraine himself in the mind of Valkyr, there would be significance to his stature that could possibly set the sha off when in Stryker’s presence, possibly even making the other tense when he was present. But he wanted to go further.  Just like with Tsuyu and Goldenluxury, he wanted to be the light of their life. When he walked in, their attention would turn to him and do whatever the ardent pleased. Even though he would love to do this through pain right now, they were running low on time. To create a lasting effect, manipulation was the way to go.

Slitted eyes narrowed. Focusing intently, the lion attempted to breach Valkyr’s mind with his mental manipulation, hoping he’d be able to do lasting damage. Just as his previous victims, he would erase any significant history of anyone within the Pitt and focus their thoughts on Stryker, making him the apple to their eye. If successful, Valkyr would ultimately view Stryker as his demented master and have little to no ill feeling about him. Gaze dilating, he pulled back. A paw reached out, figuratively signaling for Valkyr to grab his paw and go with him. ”Let’s go, sweetie,” came his mocking coo towards the Ascendants member, hoping that there was no resistance.
