I have noticed that August seems to have a fascination with water…he has ordered it at Grannys a few times, taken Emma to the well…and gave her a speach on how magical it is…I am wondering if his “shin splints” was in reaction to seeing or smelling the water. When he sucked in his breath he sounded to me like he was feining or something weird like that…Then he walked towards the water and turned his back on it a second, and looked at Emma like he wanted to see if she caught his reaction. Maybe he is King Triton or from the Little Mermaid…EQ said he “seemed familiar” which means she had to have met him before.
I agree that all signs point to him being Pinnochio or Bae…which makes me doubtful that he is those charectors. I also saw posted that his lisence plate when he first got into town was from Kansas…maybe he is from OZ. He did talk about Monkeys…Made me think about the kind that can fly…wonder if he has seen those before. LOL…maybe he is the Tin Man and needs his joints oiled up…LOL…
