Reluctantly, Ardyn nodded at her assessment. The Fatalis man had come across as such in his interaction toward Isara.
Ardyn chuckled, grinning as he settled into the more comfortable chat of family and daily life. “She does seem to enjoy herself. She’d been Queen since she was a yearling.”
Her question came as only a slight surprise, and he pondered with a smile, “It can be challenging. You have many lives resting on your shoulders, and every decision will affect them in some manner. Sassing a particularly easily ruffled alpha from another pack could bring war to your people. It’s better to make alliances than it is to make enemies. At the same time, there is the drive to expand the territory, to bring more room for others to make their home with you in.”
His head tipped thoughtfully, and he added, “Even love must be considered with the pack in mind. I wouldn’t consider for a moment someone who didn’t have the pack and its wellbeing in her heart as well love for myself.”
A grin flashed over his features and he finished, “Mostly it’s a lot of patrolling, planning, and diplomatic work.”
A chuckle rode the words.

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.
