Ardyn gave a chuff of amusement at her light teasing, shrugging lightly as he remarked, “I can at least sign and write, words failing.”
He listened with interest, nodding at her assessment of the lack of ambition the pack seemed to be suffering. “I had hoped that both my words at the warrior meeting and this raid would have sparked something in them, but…” Another shrug.
“We’ve so many high ranks they could work for – that need filling – and it’s not as though they have to fight anyone to take the rank off them to get there. Just work and train hard, train the younglings. Pull their weight. If they can’t… why let them stay, eating food they aren’t earning?”
A grin flickered over his features at her optimism, and he nodded. “I hope so, and any help is welcome. Our last festival was all mother’s work. She wanted to hold a coronation festival for me, but I think I finally talked her out of it. A regular one would still be nice. I hear tell that Avalon planned to hold one but I haven’t heard more lately.”

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.
