[glow=#000,2,300]☣ —[/glow] The lion's browline furrowed. If she thought the Rosebloods would care about her position in another clan, she was surely wrong. They were a rightful enemy and wanted a fair advantage over a Pitt. Though she could of been used for their own good, they chose to watch her suffer and then release her back to the Pitt in such a harmed state. Stryker saw a point in her position. Even so, he chose to disagree and figured that the Rosebloods were smarter for eliminating their competition (supposedly). Usually he would comment cockily on the subject about their subject, but Ninazu seemed in no mood for his games. Instead he moved along. "The removal of one of their members will definitely pinpoint us as a headstrong enemy of theirs," the ivory lion remarked. "I would love to help picking off the lot of them." Specifically Vagabond. He assumed that Ninazu wanted a shot at him first though. "Perhaps we can head over there together for old times sake?" After all, she was not in a small body anymore and could no longer ride on his back.

Her next words lodged a stake through his world. The lion listened, ears flattening as she traveled further into her speech. Lighthearted playfulness came off as mocking to her. Neon orbs staggered nervously and avoided her gaze for a moment as he dove into thought. Not coming up with a quick enough conclusion, he sputtered out some rambled sentence in hopes of reaching out to her. "You know that's not what I meant," the ardent urged desperately. "We just can't head in with no plan." He felt as if his comment would make things worse, but he hoped dearly that it would help soothe the mood at least a bit. "I understand you are hurt, but I want to do this right for the both of us." Her satisfaction was paired with his own. As Stryker's right hand, he needed her.  If she went in and got dealt with for good, Stryker was unsure of what he'd do.
