[AUGUST]

[align=center][div style="width:490px; font-family:arial; font-size:9pt; text-align:justify"]Home. August did not know what it was like to live in a city populated with humans. He couldn't say that he had ever even met one. His home had been a small cave at the base of the mountains. He could picture it now if he really desired to do so — a grassy clearing at his doorstep, green trees sprawling about the vicinity, loads of passersby and woodland critters that he had observed day-by-day. It had been a nice little home indeed, but it had been too good to last.

This was his home now — a group called Sunhaven that resided in these mountains. Lucky for him, his thick pelt could help him brave the harsh winter temperatures. The snow turned out to be pretty cool ( when you weren't landing face-down in the stuff ). The people here were nice as well, and though his mother wasn't here like he had been expecting, perhaps she'd come looking for him soon.

The wolf pup came up beside Steve. If there had been a rule that prohibited children from roaming the territory, then August obviously hadn't received the memo. He had just happened to overhear the conversation and had come to check it out. Staring up at the caracal, he cocked his head and asked, "What's Vancouver?" August had no knowledge of the human civilizations. "I'm sure you can stay here! I was lost too, but..." A quick glance was cast towards Steve. "They gave me somewhere to stay. Everyone here is pretty nice." He offered a small smile.
