STRYKER ☣ COTC ☣ KINGPIN

//if you're willing to continue this now that i'm feeling better, that'd be great <3 if not, ignore this reply!

Stryker couldn't help but chuckle in response. To be truthful, the Kingpin was quite a talker too, especially in new environments or during meetings. He couldn't help it. At least most of his comments were jokes or relatively positive feedback, unlike Caesar. That guy is a toss up. "You're most definitely right," the lion remarked back. "Sometimes you have to learn when to keep your mouth shut." Especially in the presence of a leader. He would be a hypocrite to say that he hasn't spoke up in retaliation before, especially back in Atbash's reign. Oh, how far they had fallen.

The lion offered a huff. "Nightmares, you say?" He could recall having nightmares, especially during his time as Jervis' captive. Lately though, his sleep was mostly peaceful. There was always nights like these though that chilled him to the bone. "If you'd like to talk them over to put some pressure of your shoulders-" He lightly raised a paw and jokingly pushed on Ezrakel's shoulder. "-then spill away." Hell, he might even include a free back massage. If the cat got truly lucky, Stryker would just manipulate him to sleep... or knock him out... depending on the mood. Whoops.
