WINTER WONDERLAND // PLAYING IN SNOW

[AUGUST]

[align=center][div style="width:490px; font-family:arial; font-size:9pt; text-align:justify"]August had not been alive for very long, not even for half of a year. There was a lot of life experiences he had yet to discover — adventures, relationships, the world's wonders, and much more. One of such things? Snow. Frozen water drifting down from the sky. At first, it had confused the youngster, leaving him to stare and marvel at the flakes. August had seen snow before, but never the flakes.

The wolf pup sat in the opening of one of the stone shelters, wide amber eyes gazing up at the flurry of white snow swirling about down to the ground. Like Buckingham, a flake had landed upon the surface of his nose. He wrinkled his muzzle and huffed, licking the dot of water with a quick swipe of his pink tongue. Amber luminaries peered towards that of a few Sunhaveners gathering out in the open; even the cat with the metal arm was having a good time.

Well, if it was safe to step outside, then why not? August stepped out into the powdered ground, the snow crunching beneath his pads. He blinked as the snowflakes began to dust his thick pelt and he began to grin. In a childlike manner, he then began to roll around and cover himself with the stuff.
