You wander around the densely wooded area and come upon a clearing. Evoviel beaming from ear to ear. She is kneeling on the ground, and an unusual creature is standing beside her. Evoviel calmly scratches the creature behind the ears as she looks at you. The creature's greenish eyes follow hers.

"Look, look! I was chosen! I get to take care of a Lurif! I'm so excited... Let me introduce you! This is Vedriil. Isn't he just wonderful? Now that I have him here, I need to make sure he says safe and happy. I've got the area secured so that no predators can get in here, I've checked the stream over the the east, and everything looks good there. The water is clear and cold, not moving too fast or too slow. I even made sure that the den is safe and everything!" She motions over to what looks like the entrance to a cave. "I want everything to be perfect. This is such a great opportunity!" She smiles nervously at you, as if asking if you agree, then rubs Vedriil between the eyes tenderly. 

"Do you know what Lurifs are? They're lupine-like creatures from Dominion. They're quite unique. A scientist named Geneva made them through magic and genetic engineering centuries ago, but recently their numbers are extremely low. The Council doesn't want to do anything to help their numbers grow, in fact, they were going to just let them die off!" Evoviel seems to be very upset as she says this. But then she seems to relax. "But thankfully, Noquis, another scientist, began to cultivate Lurif pups using genetic samples from the nine remaining Lurifs. This is my purpose in life - helping to preserve and increase the numbers of creatures that are on the verge of extinction." She beams again. "There are only a few pups. I'm so honored to be able to take part in this project. I know Evolution Laboratories has the resources to meet any needs that the Lurifs may require to help advance the population. This is such an important time for this species! Vedriil isn't able to breed, but it's just as important to give him a wonderful home. Perhaps at some time in the future, we might be chosen to take care of more Lurifs... maybe even some that can breed! But right now, what's important is making sure this guy is happy here. Evoviel hugs the Lurif lightly and it licks her face. She smiles broadly.

You decide to leave Evoviel to enjoy her company with Vedriil. They seem to be getting along just fine.
