Stryker watched her boast out in agony, pleading for her almighty purpose to come back to her, but what was done, was done. The ardent had made his decision. It was the one he enjoyed. No longer could she stray and allow her path to go towards the darkness under his watch, even if the venomous lion was beginning to head there himself. Slowly, he too was going under. If he happened to bring Tsuyu along with him, then there was another person to support him along the way (even if it was manipulative and mindlessly). For now, he could preach justice. Inside, no matter how much he denied it, he was longing for those revering moments like these.

"Clean up your mess, but leave the body," he murmured. Stryker wasn't exactly sure what to do with it yet, but the leader was content on using it against Tsuyu to prove a point.

Then something happens. A revolt. These, though, were the moments he never liked. An incoming body slams into him, causing the lion to lose his footing and pull away from Tsuyu. He held himself up, not falling to the ground, and intensely stared at his opponent. It was another fool. Another traitor. Not only were they both outsiders, but they were both standing her defending the other for their disgraceful actions. It rubbed the ardent the wrong way. By now, he was beginning to understand Esklav's closed-off attitude for the Pitt. Stryker was reluctant to trust nowadays.

Neon hues glared down at Jeriside like daggers. Finding a weakpoint, the lion dove forward and attempted to grab at the wolf's face with his claws. If his grip was tight enough and successful, Stryker would attempt to push the wolf's head down towards the ground right next to where Tsuyu had her own earlier. "I'm sure you and Tsuyu are going to enjoy a nice cell together," spat the lion. They wouldn't get out of this without proper punishment. Once trusted individuals would be reduced to slaves within the clan until they once again proved themselves. After this though, Stryker was unsure if that would even happen.
