She spooked slightly as his voice reached her, and he listened to her words, studying her frame and silently agreeing that she could use shelter. His muzzle dipped, half in a nod and his eyes slid away as he agreed aloud, "It's been a strange, rough couple of seasons."
Likely doubly hard for someone with impaired vision. He was more certain even as she directed her eyes straight at him, that she was partially blind at the very least. She'd seen him, he was pretty certain-- there'd been that pause some wolves did when they first caught a look at his coat's unnatural incandescence.
She was anxious, on edge, but his ears perked as she made her introduction. Destruction was a name well known to Valhalla, and likely most of the two continents. "It's a pleasure to meet another Destruction. We're allied with Abaven in the East of Boreas."
He rose, shaking out his coat, armor and beads rattling, and dropped, making a bit more noise than he normally would have as he moved to sit nearby, offering his own introduction as he smiled to the small Destruction.
"I am Ardyn Adravendi, Destiny - or Heir - of Valhalla. We're generally neutral unless attacked, or called upon to aid our allies. We encourage teamwork, loyalty, honesty and integrity, and all are required to learn at least the basics of healing and self defense."
His head cocked, edging toward her peripheral if she allowed it as he asked, "If you're looking to join, or simply stay a while until you've regained your weight and strength, what skills do you find yourself best acquainted with?"

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.
