Festival planning was fun, between him, Amory, Tel, and their mother; he enjoyed the collaboration. He let the ladies take the lead in the details. For him, he was set to survey the usual lands that had housed the festivities the last times Valhalla had held festivals.
With Medusa having claimed the Dancefloor for her pack, that left the basin as the only location left for the festival. It would still do, though housing would be a little more cramped than it used to be.
He strolled around the tree line, gazing down into the Basin, marking out possible spots for a sparring tournament ring, good places for the Nomads’ yurts and tents, plus those of wolves and creatures that came to spend more than a day there. As he tried to recall what the festival he’d attended as a boy looked like, though, Ardyn had to chuckle a little. He’d been little more than knee-high at that point.
Perhaps he should think over the event the coydogs had held. It’d been interesting, bustling with activity and games. Hopefully, Valhalla’s next festival would be as successful.

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.

She made her way happily across the basin as she set out to help her daughter find some plants that bloomed in the summer. Medusa had no idea what they were for, but Rue wanted them so she'd get them. Assuming Medusa could find them, of course. Rue went one way, and Medusa went the other. Though admittedly, she got distracted and ended up coming across a number of prairie dogs that had been watching her. She wondered if she'd be able to catch one or two...their little bones would make for nice little trinkets, and they'd probably be a decent snack before she resumed this little search of hers. Skulking across the ground, Medusa practically army crawled closer to the holes, watching them pop in and out, watching the skies and their surroundings, though before she knew it, she heard a shrill warning cry and she realized Seymour had probably messed it all up as he flew a little too close. Pouting, she sat up and huffed. About to chew him out, she spotted the familiar form of someone unmistakeable in the near distance! "Oh! It's Ardyn!" She exclaimed as she bounced to her feet and bounded straight for him. "It's the big hairy man! Did Ardyn come to hunt prairie dogs, too!?" |
Please note: Medusa is a wildcard! While she is mostly kind, friendly, and eager to help, she can equally be cold, aggressive, and eager to murder you depending on how you treat her! She refers to herself and often, others, in the third person (illeism), and occasionally has tics due to her Tourette's and may giggle and laugh at random, and may twitch here and there. She is a blood & gore type of character, and is not above killing, maiming, or other such violent actions if she's given a reason to do so. It's often in your best interest to not cross her or get on her bad side. Ya never know what she might do c:

That spot there would be the best place for the fighting tournament, he decided, nodding to himself as he eyed the very bottom of the basin. His mother had done the same in the festival she’d held when he was a pup. The view had been excellent, even for a child like himself while he waited his turn in the pup division.
And there—His was knocked out of his thoughts by the woman’s greeting as Medusa popped up from the grass – how did a woman that big hide so well? – and bounded toward him. She wasn’t a threat, given her demeanor, but he did jolt ever so slightly in place, claws snapping into the ground in startled flex before he choked out a laugh.
“Afternoon, Medusa. No, I was actually here on assignment to check out the basin for a festival we’re planning. Insomnia is among the invited, by the way. There’ll be a fighting tournament, races, and hunting contests, and activities for healers as well.” .
Ardyn turned back to Medusa, asking lightly, “What brings you here?”
