It seemed as though Stryker was finally calling upon them, not that Rhinestome was particularly enthused by the idea. While he was glad that his group had finally gotten the food they desperately needed, he still didn't trust the lion as far as he could throw him, and that was a problem. While Rhine believed that Bai Shi and Alithís Evgenis would do anything for The Palm Glades, and vice versa, he couldn't say the same of the Coalition. That wasn't exactly a good sign, and that was why the serval wasn't particularly worried about putting on too much of a good showing by actually fighting. With a grim expression on his face as he approached, Rhinestonestar muttered with a shake of his head, "I guess it's time... hard to believe he's actually doing it. Seems like a suicide mission, if you ask me." But they had a deal, and Rhine wasn't keen on breaking that deal – at least not yet. Not when Stryker would easily know and be able to retaliate. Even if the Palm Glades were strong, they certainly didn't need to make the Coalition an enemy at the moment. They were only just now recovering from the storm, and Rhine wasn't looking for new injuries to plague them.

As he listened to those around him offer their thoughts, Rhinestone flicked his short tail from side to side, announcing to all of them, "Alright, get ready for battle. But remember, we're only going to make it look like we're holding up our end of the bargain. If you're able to go the whole fight without engaging anyone, then I encourage you to do so. If anyone attacks you, there's obviously a reason to fight back, but we have no real reason to go searching for fights with Typhoon members. They still haven't done anything to hurt us." The male still felt uneasy about this whole thing, but hopefully this plan would work, and Stryker wouldn't notice that anything was off. After all, the other had an entire raid to worry about. With this in mind, Rhine gave a firm nod to those around him, before moving off in the direction of The Typhoon's territory.
