He'd finished working the heavy hide down to a buttery softness, and lining it with rabbit pelts. It should do to keep Tel warm and able to move about the pack without feeling too self-conscious about her lack of fur.
He’d sewn the hide into a sort of full body suit, with a set of booties to protect her paws. He folded it up and padded out of the main fire room, peering into the other caves and alcoves until he came to Tel’s peering in to see if she was in. With winter’s chill settled in, he’d be surprised if she wasn’t tucked under the furs and shivering.
“Tel? You up?”
He set the folded garment at his own paws and settled, letting the woman decide if she wanted to interact with anyone. Hopefully the gift would be a help to her morale.

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.
