He listened with interest to her ideas, nodding slowly as he considered them, a smile tugging at his features in flickers of flame. “We can always reinstate seasonal festivals. Or perhaps bi-annual.”
He paused as her smile shifted to a frown, and her query gave him a beat. Was he? Well… “Yes. I am.”
Ardyn looked away, peering across what would be a room someday, lit on one side with a fireplace like his mother had described seeing in the castle in Auster when she and his father had gone there.
“There… are many times where I feel as though I am the only one working to keep the pack going. And maybe that I am among the very few who would care if it fails. I know it must be some failing of mine that they aren’t motivated to even form lasting bonds with each other.”
His paw that supported his weight on the ground flexed, claws unsheathing with a soft scrape in the dirt. “But sometimes, it’s very hard not to be resentful. I shouldn’t be, but… I suppose feelings aren’t all that rational at times. My own brother doesn’t even seem invested since his return. I’ve barely seen him… I’d—I’d hoped that maybe he and I could be the pack’s leaders. But perhaps that’s no longer his desire.””

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.
