Soon enough, he glanced back and spotted Lee’s russet figure, and he turned to move by the smaller girl’s side, turning to study the blizzard again. “The primates and I may have to strengthen the lattice over the ravine… Didn’t Mum and Da say that Spring was supposed to melt snow away?”
He and his siblings had been born right on the twilight between the seasons, and he remembered their puphood spring as being quite pleasant. He shook out his coat in a flare of fiery light and glanced down at Lee. “Wanna make a cloak? I dunno how long this’ll last, and it might be nicer if we had some protection against the extra chill to help our undercoats.”
He grinned and rose to his paws, padding back into the shelter of the ravine. “So, how does it feel?”

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.
