Alvin nodded along as the young woman explained her field. Truthfully he sort of tuned Sloane out when she started rambling about creatures, maybe he should have paid better attention. "Sounds like you've found a calling," Of which Alvin could be a little bitter about as he was trying to find his second passion.

Unsure as to whether or not he was reading the situation right, Alvin decided to go the self-depreciation route. "I'm afraid I'm not very good at animals, part of the reason I come here." Aside from escorting Sloane around. "Still working on the skill, but hopefully someday I'll be that good." Because Merlin knew he needed some sort of occupation that could support him.
