+3 hope it's okay if octa here joins in?
Storms were something that had always intrigued the young man. The sound of thunder as it cracked and whipped through the heavens, lightening lighting up the otherwise dead black sky. So fascinating, they were, that he snuck out of the underground each time the rain began to pitter patter along the ground. This day was no different, and he emerged from the small hole in the ground with a grin pulling his at his mouth.
Standing up onto two legs and wearing nothing but a bag over one shoulder and his ‘coming of age’ necklace, the snowy white boy began to walk along the outer edges of the forest, not bothered a bit that he was becoming drenched. Every time the thunder rolled he would growl along with it menacingly, always trying to get his voice to match. Of course, his vocal chords were still a bit too young to be that deep, but he was quickly getting there. With his body roughly the size of an average male luperci, and being only nine months old, Octavius was well on the way to becoming a very large creature.
A bright flash and a soft crash…and then he heard the soft sobbing coming from not even ten feet away. Dropping to a crouch, he crawled forward on hands and feet slowly, taking a deep breath to try and scent one of his pack mates. This one was female, and young…smelled a lot like the Angelo that was always hanging around his mother. Frowning, Octa crawled closer still and peeked around a thick tree, finally catching sight of the small girl curled into a ball.
Whimpering softly, he closed his eyes and decided to shift down into his smallest form so as not to frighten her further. Two minutes passed before he was on four paws and weighed about a hundred pounds less. Grabbing up his bag in his jaws, he trotted closer and yipped, What’s wrong? Are you hurt? Completely ignoring personal space, he sidled right up to her side and twisted a bit, trying to see her face, wanting to be absolutely certain that his young pack mate was not physically hurt.
