Ardyn was mostly focused on the skinning process as the men talked, though he absorbed the opinions and suggestions, grinning. “Hard to believe they’re already yearlings.” He shifted the bison with a shove of his shoulder, nodding as Cairo lifted the leg he was working around higher as Domari padded off.
His tongue poked between his teeth as he worked, down to the medial line and out over the belly, fisting his paw and using it to punch forward and pry the skin from the flesh, nicking with a claw where he met more resistance than was wise to push against.
“I’d love to get in on that spar, make it a four-way or back-to-back… it sounds fun.” His sabers flashed in a grin as he pulled back the hide and prepared to roll the bison onto its other side, still in the hide for now, preparing to start the other side with the other two’s help.

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.
