There's lots of stuff to do in Sanctum... but what I enjoy most is just hanging out here in the park, watchin' people play with their pets.

You can't help smiling at that much joy.

• "It is rather endearing."

Do you have a pet, Daeva?

I know, I know, it seems like a lot of responsibility... but, have you ever snuggled an Elroco or a Methu? So soft. There's just nothing else like it!

You really should learn more about pets, 'cuz pet snuggling, that's only the beginning.

• "Would you teach me?"

Umm, well, I'm really good with animals, but not terribly good at explaining.

If you really want to learn more, you should go talk to Unos.

He's a Pet Merchant, and he's chock-full of cool pet facts. He's also gorgeous...but that's beside the point.

• Accept.
• Decline.

Great!

Unos is right over there, by the pet sign.

Oh, and tell him I said hello....

• "Sure thing. See you later."

Letia loves pets, but suggested you should talk to Unos about pet care, as she's lousy at explaining things (and she thinks Unos is cute).

Arieluma, Daeva. Of course I have time to talk to you about pets. I always have time to talk pets.

Let's start with the basics. First, pay attention to your pet. That's easy to remember when they're happy and acting all cute and sassy, but a bit more challenging when they're sulking or grumpy.

Second, it's important to reach out to your pet frequently, let it tell you how it's feeling...and don't forget to respond. If you initiate communication, you need to quickly follow through. Snuggle your pet, scratch its tummy, groom it, take it for a walk in the park. If you don't close that communication loop, you'll hurt its feelings.

• "Communication loop, check."

Now, pet snuggling is a no-brainer, but pet grooming, that requires more skill.

Here, check out this book, it's all about proper pet grooming techniques. It's a bit weighty, but I think you'll find it to be a great resource.

Give it a read, and if you have more questions, I'm always available.

Letia loves pets and wants you to love them too. She sent you to Unos to find out about proper pet care.

Unos told you that it's important to pay attention to your pet and to interact with it frequently. Then he gave you a huge book on pet grooming.
