LEADER ❝ RHINE ❞ PALMCLAN

Stryker. In a way, the other's presence on their territory was both a boon and a curse. On one hand, the other represented a strong ally, hopefully with plenty of resources that they could call upon. On the other hand, most of Palmclan's members were uneasy about him at best, and want him to choke to death at worst. Even Rhine found himself wincing as he approached the other leader this time, mainly because of the request that the other was making. A raid? Now? Palmclan was struggling and vulnerable from the recent winter storm, and Stryker wanted them to fight? However, he couldn't deny that the sound of a payment sounded intriguing. If Palmclan got some land, or even just enough prey to get them through this horribly cold winter... well, it would be worth it in the end. The tom kept this in mind as he padded up to where Stryker stood, a slightly nervous smile of welcome on his face. Taking a deep breath inward, he questioned, "A raid...? I suppose we'd be interesting in assisting, but... we're having issues right now. We had a huge storm, and our prey is scarce at the moment. What exactly would this share involve? Something that could help us, hopefully...?" Stryker seemed like a reasonable man – or at least, a shrewd business man, so surely he'd see how beneficial offering something good would be for the both of them.
