The koi-marked woman seemed unwilling to close any distance, so Ardyn made no moves toward her, instead shifting to give her more space with an understanding smile. He was aware of his height and appearance—from the fathomless ink-black of his base color, to the flame that flickered, flaring golden and white hot at the points of greatest friction, to the intricate mask of glowing flame and ice markings over his face.
He chuckled lightly at her statement, nodding, as he returned, “Some of them may understand if you tell them, but most won’t hear the words as anything more than sounds.”
His head tipped curiously as he added, “May I ask what herbs you’re after? My pack’s local, so our healers often frequent this area for herbs that don’t grow behind our walls. I may be able to point you to them.”
It was a genuine offer, and his tone held no pressure or insistence that the woman accept his help. His stance remained non-commital, willing to let her go her own way if she wished.

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.
