(Going to be a crappy post. Hands are cold and I’m spitting out posts quick as I can to finish alpha posts so I can hide them again. xD)
Ares took the news of Kairi’s passing with the proper level of respect and sadness, and his words on having to iron out details with Sparrow regarding the children’s residency with Plunder were logical.
He was glad the man wasn’t planning to simply take the pups away. As their father it was within his rights to take them with him today if he wanted, but Ares seemed more than open to what the children had to think.
He nodded in agreement. Being he’d grown up in Valhalla and known everyone aside from those who arrived, he couldn’t imagine how it would be to be thrust into an entire pack of wolves he didn’t know, with a man who claimed to be his father.
A smile tugged at his features at Ares suggestion. “Surprisingly, we have a law regarding this sort of deal, though generally it’s put into play regarding when one of ours has fallen in love and reproduced with a wolf of another pack, and it runs about the way you suggested. Time in either pack, unless the mother decides to move to our pack, or the father goes to hers. At that point, we rescind any say over the children’s lives. I believe one of my Head beta’s companions calls it shared custody.”
Enito was old enough to have actually been a human’s pet in his youth, until the humans’ un-explainable disappearance long ago.
“I like these terms. If you’re ready to meet them, I can call them now.”
He waited for the man’s acceptance before turning aside and singing a long, carrying call across the plains, voice echoing the three pups’ names well after he’d stopped howling and settled to wait.

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.
