Her light-hearted query brought a brief laugh. “Probably not, but life is inherently risky either way. I think I may add railings at some point to lower the risk of falling overboard. I’m happy to give you a ride to the mainland.”
He considered the raft thoughtfully, head tilting as he envisioned the changes he’d mentioned. “Certainly will make taking some Island Pork home after a hunt here much easier. Or herbs for our healers.”
His sisters and cousin, as well as Eramaya, Noelle and Viviane, would all be pleased with the ease of transport and lowered risk of waterlogged supplies. Imagine if they could track down that great water den his mother had encountered. That would be something but… perhaps too difficult to steer. How would one even manage it?
“If you need a place to stay until you get your bearings, I welcome you to Valhalla. You need not stay if you don’t want to in the end, but it would give you a chance to gain your feet in a safe place with food, shelter and clean water.”
There were no strings attached in his offer, and his tone was genuine as he studied the small woman and her castaway appearance. He left it open for her to decline, and he would accept her decision.

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.
