Ardyn smiled as the newcomer explained herself, his fire and ice gaze flicking between the three as he watched the interaction. He was pleased that the woman wasn’t spooked by his great height, just a few inches from his adult size by now, though he himself wasn’t certain when he would stop growing. He was already taller than Cairo and his father now. His grandfather, were he still alive today, would be at a level with him. It felt like just yesterday that he was tripping over the man’s bright crimson paw on a quest to chase a butterfly.
Ardyn added helpfully, “We have alcoves open in the main Seat. If winter turns out as rough as last year, the fires will be deeply appreciated, and if you haven’t plotted out a den, temporary or otherwise, you’re welcome to one.”
His mother’s subtle nod told him he hadn’t overstepped with the offer, and he smiled down at her, pleased to have spoken well.

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.
