[glow=#000,2,300]☣ —[/glow] Stryker had noticed Cosette's disappearance for some time now, especially after her own brother's. They both had taken time to themselves, but the lion was not exactly surprised. To say they were in danger was a joke to him. That did change when Yes Man's body laid between his paws only days before, causing anger to fester within him. His concern grew. The smell of Cosette's faint musk caught his attention graced him with peace, yet ever-worrying grief. Had she come out because of such an event? Or was she delirious? Either way would end in utter chaos. The ardent had no other choice but to meddle within the sibling's affairs, as he was the leader and one of Yes Man's dearest friends. If only this could go quietly.

As he followed the scent with caution, venomous canines bit down onto his split tongue out of concern. It only released when her figure came into view. "Cosette," he rasped. The lion rushed to her side. If she were to collapse due to exhaustion or need any assistance, he would be her pillow or shoulder to cry on. "How are you?" Before mentioning anything about her brother's passing, Stryker was going to attempt to see if she knew anything about it. He didn't want to ruin her return.
