Ardyn nodded as Coran confirmed his desire for a healer and rose, padding softly to the edge of the den entry and howling softly for Legacy or Eramaya; he was pretty sure he’d seen them heading to the river for water, so it might take them a bit to arrive.
Summons sent, he turned and shook out his coat, briefly illuminating the interior of the den as he moved to settle side-by-side with his brother, nudging softly into the side of Coran’s muzzle with his nose as he stated simply, but firmly, “You won’t die, not if we have anything to say about it. You’ll pull through.”
His tone was bracing, warm with encouragement. He’d make sure his sibling made it through this, no matter what it took.

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.
