No, not even touching... They almost touched. Dabi, the ruthless and idiotic fool, was trying to be sympathetic for once in his pitiful and useless life. Tsuyu, tainted by the ardent's manipulation, perceived the situation wrong. To him, this signaled he had once again failed to whip someone into shape. He must try harder. For now though, he wanted an explanation... yet he received nothing like one. 'Excuses,' his thoughts hissed. A low growl rumbled out from his throat, signaling his discontent with her response. Discontent bubbled in his head. Steam was practically leaving his ears in frustration. His anger was piling on top of itself, soon meeting the brim of his breaking point. Stryker held back though, letting her continue. He pressed down harder on her neck, forcing her to continue talking breathlessly and quickly.

Tsuyu talked on, continuing her anxious rambling. She didn't know what was wrong with the situation, obviously pissing the lion off more. Not only this, but she questioned if her 'master' liked her actions. After the praise from Jeriside, it seemed as if her thoughts were tainted by such a comment. Someone like her did not deserve to flaunt her pride. Obviously, Stryker was not satisfied one bit. Her attitude had tipped him over, causing his rage to spill over the brim known as his resistance. Unbridled, unrelentless rage left him.

Smoldering fury released from the ardent all in one movement. As he hovered over Tsuyu, he shifted over to his right and allowed his back legs to kick up into the air. Claws dug in further as continued to hold at her neck, ripping at her skin and creating deep, scarring gashes within her neck. After getting his grip, the immense amount of force of his back paws plowed into her hips. The sounds of cracking bones radiating throughout the jungle. Tsuyu's back legs were splaying out from her sides and going in all directions. Contorted and backwards, her legs signaled that her hips had been broken and that she would have to drag herself around with her remaining front legs and their unworthy strength.

Knowing that he hit where it hurt Tsuyu's own ego, the lion remained still and let his anger fester in the form of his tight grip once again. His claws continued to create deeper gashes as he spoke. "You took his life away, so I'll take your own lifestyle away too," he gloated mischievously. "I expect you to reform your ways, sweetheart." For the first time in forever, it felt delightful to do what was so wrong, yet so right. Stryker could get used to this.
