August Weiss
Location: Winter Carnival (Enroute to Medical Tent)
Interactions: Taurus Altobelli & Melanie Rose Pourri


August didn't mean to stare but, now that the skunk was back on her feet he couldn't help but, notice just how scuffed her paws were. She did take a pretty nasty fall and just to add insult to injury had become absolutely drenched in the process. It was way too cold to be walking around like that. Thankfully it seemed that Taurus was on the same page, and stopped the little skunk before she could get too far.

The bull’s thoughtful gesture was enough to bring a small smile to August's face. There wasn't a selfish bone in Taurus's body, August was sure of it. Always the one to look out for others, even when it came to complete strangers.

“Hey-hey, it's no sweat. Honest!” The Doberman quickly reassures offering Melanie a very toothy grin. Admittedly her tearful outburst had startled him causing his ears to flick forward in attention. As much as he wanted to provide physical reassurance whether it be a simple pat on the shoulder or maybe even a much-needed hug, August refrained from doing so. It had been a few years now since he moved out of his mother’s home and into the dorms. Being a student at the university had certainly changed his views for the better. However, it seemed some of his mother’s ‘teachings’ still ran deep. Something he hated to admit.

Prey animals are dangerous, August. It will always be their word over yours.

A gentle touch to his back and the warm voice that followed was enough to pull him from his gloomy thoughts. August blinked out of his stupor and fixed Taurus with a little grin. “Yeah, Russ. Right behind ya.” The bull’s promise of food drawing an amused chuckle out of him. “That’s an offer I can’t refuse.” He hummed shoving his paws in his pocket as they began their trek to the medical tent.

August entered the tent shortly after Melanie, being careful with his footing so as not to trample the poor girl. He briefly held the tent flap open for Taurus once he was through before focusing his attention on the kangaroo that was approaching them.

He quietly listened as Melanie spoke and gave the nurse a curt wave when her eyes traveled over them. It seemed their new little buddy would be in good hands.
