His ears titled to the sound of her subtle movements as she brought herself from the snowy ground. His head soon followed and he gazed at her curiously. She could not have been warm already, surely? When she shook snow rained down upon him in a flurry, but he was not bothered. He let the delicate flakes melt atop the guard hairs along his body. Neither moisture or chill could penetrate this layer. He gained all four paws soon, echoing her movements. When she spoke of his indecision he lowered his eyes to the ground. It was not shame that bade him divert his gaze, but the truth she spoke. One thing struck him as odd, though. A name. It was unfamiliar to him. Shandom? He queried, raising a brow. He lifted his head, glad for the change of subject. Little did he know this name would soon become familiar to him, the name of a brother.
He was curiosity was further intensified when he noticed the small female drop to the ground in a playful bow. His pack had been small, and there had been no pups for a long time save he and his brother, and their play had been only when they were very young. Augustus had little memory of it. He cocked his head at her, and he twitched his tail. Cautiously he approached, eyeing her strangely. He halted just before her. What are you doing? He asked innocently.
