Ardyn grinned at her acceptance of his offer to help, taking note of the several bundles she had. Deftly, he gathered them into his pouches and padded alongside the tiny woman, keeping his strides short to be sure she wouldn’t have to hurry to match speeds.
At her returned query, he nodded, head tipping side-to-side in the gesture as he said, “I’ve been well. My tongue’s healed, and my bruises from the raid no longer ache. I hear Eramaya may be holding a group lesson in the summer for the pack healers. Looking forward to learning more of your Craft?”
He flashed a grin down at the woman, ears flicking forward to hear her response.

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.
