August probably could've cried when he first spotted the serval. It wasn't nearly the size of a lion, but he knew cats like these would gladly eat him if they had the chance. He'd already been killed once by a big cat, why not a second time? He seemed to stiffen up a bit more, expecting a fight. His expectations vanished as the feline proved itself friendly, at least, for the time being. Of course, he reminded himself, not all animals would just attack on sight.
The name of this place was... fitting. He didn't quite understand how any animals could survive here and be happy; the majority of his body was numb, and he rather thought that was because of the snow, not because of any other factors. Although, he supposed his pelt must've been a lot thinner than one a creature that was meant to live in a place like this would have. Servals weren't one of those creatures, though. He wondered how long the serval had been here.
He stared for at least a minute before he carefully lowered his head under the scarf being held up, manoeuvring his antlers so that the cloth wouldn't get stuck on them. The deer lifted his head and shook it a bit to get the scarf to fall further down. Hm. It did seem to help a bit to ward off the cold, and it wasn't an ugly shade of blue.. "Thank you. It is nice."
August stared at Pierce as he spoke, hazy eyes looking as though they didn't truly see him. He thought for a moment. "That's a nice name. I am.." At this point he paused to think once more, gaze drifting to the side. What was his name? It took him several seconds before a small 'ah!' left him. "August? Yes, I am August."
"SPEECH"
