He smiled lightly at her greeting, head tilting with interest at her explanation of her arrangement with Tyto.
“Please let me know when you hold that hunt; I’d like to join in.”
A soft sniff of laughter escaped his nose at her yawn, and he nodded in agreement as he scooted a little closer and rolled to scrub his back against the stone. It wasn’t very rough, worn smooth by generations of pack meetings, pups playing, and pack wolves lounging like they were now, but it soothed the small itches borne of armor use and languid contentment.
“My tongue feels better at least. She doesn’t hold back when she bites.”
It didn’t really need to be clarified who the ‘she’ was he spoke of. Sparrow was definitely a wolf who would push back when shoved into and had no problems with locking jaws. He’d been soundly trounced, but in the end, Valhalla had scraped by to win.

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.
