[Stryker]

As the tom approached, Stryker's confident smile grew. How prompt of him to show up. Last time, they were rather late and he had to deal with Quasar's babbling. Nonetheless, the deal was done. They were allies now and with that came the push and pull between them. 'You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours' type of deal. The lion knew the formalities of business well, after all. A triple-time leader had to.

With a firm nod, he paused momentarily to think. Palmclan was their strongest ally. Offering the Coalition of the Condemned's assistance was wise. "I see," the Kingpin reminisced. "I am sorry for your trouble and we would be willing to help in exchange for yours." The lion craned his head. His paw raised to rub at his chin in thought. Neither group was 'thriving' in terms of resources, but with Tanglewood acquired, that could change. As his paw fell to the floor, the lion continued his spiel. "You can have free reign of Tanglewood's hunting grounds and territory during this time. They have an assortment of prey-" That was really an understatement. For a shit-riddled swamp, who knew that non-sentient creatures would gather there. "-and rare herbs. My wanderers will escort you as need be." Stryker thought they could handle themselves, but some select pansies might need assistance.

To sweeten the deal, Stryker would offer one last special treat. A smirk met his lips. "If you don't have enough resources or a suitable place to say by the time the raid is over, Palmclan is welcome to take Haven Island as their new home." The island was about the size of the Coalition of the Condemned's current dump. Needless to say, Stryker wasn't necessarily interested.

"If you have anything else in mind, do not hesitate offer," the Kingpin finalized. "The Coalition of the Condemned is at your service, Rhinestonestar." Whiney Rhiney was going to need some help getting out of their current situation. Disregarding Stryker's deal would be idiotic.
