By now, everyone’s cuts and bruises would be mostly healed from the Raid, and Ardyn made his circuit around the territories in search of each who had fought for the pack. Or at the very least for its dignity.
His nose traced above the ground until he found a scent, and he took off at a brisk trot, scanning for the form he sought. As he came up on Tyto, he smiled in greeting, tail flowing through the air in a greeting wag.
Like Tyto, he’d lost his very first fight in the raid, so he didn’t hold the loss against the man. Even had Valhalla lost the raid, he wouldn’t have blamed any of those who had lost their fights.
“You up for a hunt?”

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.

He hadn't been too happy about his loss in the raid. He knew he could've done better. He had gotten far too rusty in his training, and he knew that. He took it personally with himself, knowing full well he should always be at peak performance no matter what. But he had let himself down, and in some form, had let Valhalla down. He had allowed himself to get too lax. Too content with his new life after Winterfell and Incendium. Valhalla was on the quieter side, sure, but it was still no excuse for him to get lazy. He was about to head out to see what he could find to bring back when Ardyn approached. Tyto turned and dipped his head in return greeting. "Actually, I was on my way to do that now, so you're just in time. Two sets of teeth are better than one,"

He smiled at the man, offering a friendly bump of his shoulder to Tyto’s as he turned and led the way through the plains, casting about for a fresh scent that carried signs of injury. Nothing came up, so he switched tactics and led the way to the alcoves.
“Doesn’t smell like there are any crippled animals to hunt, so let’s try snares. Have you ever used traps for hunting?”
He glanced back over his shoulder at Tyto as he padded up the three steps into the main chamber, ducking in to grab his hunting kit and stepping back down to lead the way back to the wooded flanks of the hillock outside the ravine.
