I WISH YOU COULD SEE THE WICKED TRUTH
CAUGHT UP IN A RUSH, IT'S KILLING YOU

Recognizing the man as Atticus by his description – though the Pitt tended to stay out of the other groups’ business, it nevertheless paid to know information about one’s potential enemies – the lioness tilted her head a tad to the left in acknowledgement. His coldly polite greeting pleased her well enough, as she hardly expected a warm welcome from a peaceful group. If their roles were reversed… well, she’d sooner consider taking advantage of the moment to capture him and hang his skin in her temple. But she would happily take advantage of his weakness for subscribing to limiting morals.

“You’re allies with the Rosebloods, correct? Are you aware that they sacrifice sentient animals to their gods?” she asked him, choosing to start her ‘piece’ with the assumption that the group and its leader remained ignorant to the Rosebloods’ practices. Her claws tapped the grasslands irritably for a moment, golden eyes narrowing before she elaborated, “One of their members captured, tortured, and killed me. Recently I have… acquired one of their members for revenge, and imagine my surprise when I peer into his mind and see his leader ordering the members to capture, torture, and kill in the name of some bloodthirsty gods.” She did not mind admitting that she held one of their members captive – as, currently, the Pitt actually held two Rosebloods captive – and it made little sense to cover up a crime that they would expect from the Pitt, anyway.

“Now, I’m not asking for your assistance or anything of the sort. I simply thought that you might consider that interesting. It’s one of the little reasons why the Pitt would never consider allies – you never can quite anticipate what skeletons others have in their closet,” she added, making sure that he didn’t mistake her point. Ninazu didn’t come here for an alliance request or ask for assistance in the Pitt’s war effort against the Rosebloods. She simply believed that this message served them both: weakening the Rosebloods’ alliances helped her and Atticus could learn about this before it hit him on the nose someday. “Ask one of them if you don’t believe me. Their leader’s insanity is an open secret,” she said with a slight snort, thinking back on the various memories she saw from Bai Shi.
