Ardyn followed the man, ears perked at the one word. So… not deer. Oh, well. It was still something to learn, right? The fleeting disappointment not to be hunting big game vanished as he padded forward and breathed in the scents wafting from within. They were all fresh, and he flicked an ear back as Cairo explained a little about why he was having him sniff the rabbits.
He breathed in again, taking longer to separate the smells from within. “It smells… warm, in there. And there’s clicking.”
He stepped back and looked back at Cairo, head cocked as he asked, “Why’s there clicking?”
There’d been other sounds. Faint thumping of rabbits moving, rustles of fur against tunnel ceiling and other rabbits. He eyed the warren opening. He was small enough he could fit in there, he thought. But the question was yet unanswered, so he resisted the urge to try.

Ardyn at first glance is as black as can be imagined with a raven sheen.
Closer inspection proves that he shimmers in fire tones in every hair on his hide right down to his lashes.
More obviously, he glows like a bed of coals and flames with every movement and brush of fur. His tail is usually wagging, so blazes like a torch.
His adult teeth are in and his saber canines have grown to their full length (see profile). His mane and tail hair have grown to full length, as well as being lightweight and easily buffeted by breezes.
A look at his front paws will give the impression of hands, with his dew claw dropped low and lengthened into a functioning thumb, and his toes elongated into fingers. He has retractable, solid black cat-like claws on every paw.
Ardyn has developed a glowing mast of intricate markings in fire and ice colors over his face, symmetrical over the last seasons of Year 17 (see profile for details). During hunts or raids/sieges, he will smudge them out with black soot to cover the glow, otherwise, they are bright enough to note at first direct glance at his face. Not all his artwork currently portrays the mask markings.
He is also often bedecked in beads, small bells, feathers in blues, ribbons and braids thanks to the Ooze Event of Halloween 2021, and the Coathanger item that he got. The accessories generally are seen most in his mane and tail hair. He removes the brighter items and bells for hunts or battle.
