Her acceptance of his offer for a ride across to the mainland came after a moment of consideration, and he nodded lightly in return, eyes twinkling faintly. She was deliberate and careful with her decisions. “We can set off when you’re ready; I only came this way to test the raft.”
His second offer took her by surprise, it seemed, and after a brief remark, she trailed into one of her careful considerations, before continuing.
A grin flashed over his features, and he remarked cheerfully, “Well, I don’t tend to get in arguments with myself very often. Now, if it were someone else bringing you in for a place to stay a while, I’d be asking more questions unless I trusted my pack-mate’s judgement, and I trust them all.”
His mismatched fire and ice gaze twinkled at her as he added, “And it wouldn’t be entirely freeloading. We do generally ask that our guests find some way to give back, even if it’s just a piece of useful information and nothing else. Knowledge and stories are just as good as bringing in food or defending the borders.”
His eyes softened from their jovial twinkling as he finished gently, “However, if that is your decision, I won’t force you into my pack.”
His voice was earnest, and he held her gaze long enough to make it clear he meant his 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.
