Úlfr was quick to maneuver himself. Ardyn caught the flash of teeth out of the corner of his eye and flipped his hand-like paw out of Úlfr’s reach and seeking to attempt at capturing Úlfr’s muzzle across the top in his strong digits and shove downward with his weight – though he was careful to keep his claws sheathed – hoping to drive the pale boy’s chin into the ground.
He sought to pivot on his front end as he went, swinging his hind end to hopefully bring himself and Úlfr face to face – or at least front to front – as his head snaked out and he sought to catch the other boy by the ear in his teeth and tug playfully, if sharply.
His other foreleg snapped up, some of his weight transferring to his hind end, tail sweeping out for balance as he sought to wrap his digits around Úlfr's scruff, hoping to get an advantageous grip on the boy’s neck and fur that he might be able to use.
Ardyn vs Ulfr for Spar
Walk ---- "Speak" ---- "Labhair an Sean-Teanga." ---- "Hear" ---- Think |
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.
