The woman made a decision, and Ardyn maintained a gently neutral, unobtrusive stance as he took in her words, a faint smile flickering over her light-masked features as he remarked cheerfully, “Teething pups? I know of a stand a short walk from here.”
He moved off at an easy walk, long tail floating on the light breeze and flaring bright gold at points, as he added, “Valhalla. And the pack that stands closer to the bridge to Auster is known as Ashen.”
She gave a belated introduction, and Ardyn nodded with a smile tossed over his shoulder, glacial blue and burning flame gaze friendly as he returned, “Ardyn Adravendi, High King of Valhalla.”
No pomposity rode the introduction; it was voiced as a simple statement.
He sniffed lightly as he followed the path, then paused, turning to gesture at a stand of plants with a nod. “This should be the Marshmallow.”
He moved off to give her space to work, listening to the birds chatter and squawks. If there was danger, the birds would tell the whole world about it, either with silence or a cacophony of fury.

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.
