He was pleased that the Luperci taint was not upon this male and he felt immediately connected, like they shared something few of even his new brothers and sisters had. To say he was discouraged by its presence in his superiors was not true however, as he admired their will to deny its presence and return to the life nature had intended for them. Still, it felt good to be among another, in many ways, just like him. He’d never dwelt in human structures, never eaten cooked food as most of the court was accustomed too, unwilling from the start to adopt such habits. Another similarity was both were wolves, pure without the slightest drop of hybrid blood. He took a few moments to pass his eyes over his body. They were alike in age, but very different in pelt. Augustus had no other colors but black and white, as was his view of the world -black and white a very fitting arrangement of colors for him. His eyes were but the only trace of vibrant hues as they were yellow with flecks of green around the pupils. The male’s eyes were an oddity as well, sapphire dashed with gold. He peered into the pools now, sizing him up. It was neither a display of aggression, he simply wished to observe every member of his new family to the very finest detail. These were the very beings he would sleep beside, hunt beside, and even one day die beside. It served him well to know them to their very core.

His ears perked to the males tones and he dipped his own muzzle in turn. His attention fell to the muskrat as the wolf nosed it to him. Without further hesitation his teeth sunk into the flesh of the creature, feeling warm blood flow between his open jaws- fresh blood. He ate little, sparing the rest out of respect and love. He knew him little but there was a deep seated bond between pack mates that was hard to describe. He nudged it back to him, content in the knowledge that when he dined their saliva would mix and they would become the slightest part of each other sealing their new found kinship. He licked the blood from his white jaws before giving reply. “Paws always feel lighter at the prospect of coming home.” His tail wagged to further back up his statement. “And yours?” He asked, lowering himself to his haunches. He let his tail curl about his large white paws, and kept his attention upon Thoirni. He paused for his answer, ears swiveling to the subtle sounds of the ambient beings about him. The others of his pack that were already settled here stirred in the den behind them. Augustus lent his ears to their movements, and Thoirni’s as well. “I am Augustus.” He continued, eager to get the formalities out of the way. It felt silly to need to introduce himself, but he was not yet acquainted with all of his family, and had need to announce himself if they ever had the need to call him. .
