He saw Medusa’s eyes lock onto the deer legs, and the sparkle told him he’d thought right. She was able to divert her attention to more business-like matters, however, and his own ears perked with interest at her mention of trade, and a festival.
“I’d love to attend; there may be several in Valhalla interested in the fighting, especially.” He grinned, quietly including himself in that list.
He turned to the subject of trade, asking, “What might Insomnia be in need of that can be traded?”
Sharing the western region, Valhalla and Insomnia had much the same plants and animals, but perhaps Medusa had other ideas. Perhaps instead of items, the trade would be favors or services. That could be interesting…

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.
