Stryker was not fond of the idea that the Pitt had no allies, but he had not been actively seeking such a relationship with any other clan. For someone to arrive on the border with such a brave and outgoing attitude was unexpected, but surely welcomed by their newest ardent. With a curious gleam in his eye, he listened. The ardent was encapsulated by their words, interested deeply in the way they spoke and how they moved ever-so elegantly. "Glad, you've done your research," the ardent commented back bravely. "Otherwise we would be having a problem." And luckily, to Stryker, there was no sign of any conflict here. He was involved and was willing to hear what the Conclave's Reaper had to say for himself.

Bruce was quick to hop on the train about alliances. He nodded in agreement as he listened, acknowledging that their member was learning so quickly. Nevertheless, he attention shifted back. Unwilling to trust so quickly, the male had decided on his answer. "Acquaintance," he repeated back with a smirk. It was not friend nor foe, but instead the middle option for now until the Conclave proved their worth. "Though, I am sure Bruce is right. You may be aiming for something else here." They shall see.
