Animal Training (Sylvan)
The address scribbled down on the parchment given to Sylvan by the petshop owner led her to a small cottage at the edge of the Residential District. It was of the simplest design, with no paint over the worn wooden shingles and no shutters on the age-frosted windows. What set it apart from the other houses, however, was a large fenced-in area behind the home. This small field housed a stable in which a horse, a goat, a dog, and a mother sow with her litter of piglets lived. The animals and the area they lived in seemed very well cared-for, and the air only had the slight fragrance of fresh straw, without the distasteful odors that might be expected.
In front of the house, on a porch step, sat a male human. His hair was long and dark, and he wore simple clothing of green and brown. His brow was furrowed in concentration as he attempted unsuccessfully to whittle at a small block of wood with a pocketknife. Finally, he looked up as Sylvan approached, blinked a moment, then jumped to his feet with a welcoming smile. "Hello, there, I'm Marrek Solen! What can I do for you?"
