Oh. As Ardyn considered Cai’s answer, he did recall that not all of the brown creatures had dashed into the holes. The rabbits had scattered in all directions, including out into the tall grasses of the plains that surrounded the small hill the warren had been dug into.
Brow furrowing in a flare of fire, he began slowly working his way around the clearing, trying to match his glimpsed memories with a fresh scent, before he came across one that seemed likely. He glanced back at Cairo, who watched him, clearly waiting for him to pick a scent and lead the way.
He chose the scent that appealed most to him, then trotted forward, remembering not to bounce into a run, though it took some self-control not to give in to the excitement of getting to practice hunting.
He led the way through a winding rabbit trail, then paused with a frown. Where’d the fresh trail gone?

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.
