So I employed Sven as my steward. After I had him buy me a cow and chicken, I went to earn more gold so I could have him furnish one of my rooms. When I get back, he's nowhere to be seen! Checked the whole house and walked around the grounds to see if I could see him.

I went away again and came back, and when I stepped outside the house a giant killed my cow, so I'm afraid that Sven might have been attacked as well. I had a job myself killing the giant, so Sven wouldn't have stood a chance. How do I find out where he is? I tried using the console to place him at me but I obviously wasn't using it correctly because it wouldn't work.

EDIT- Nevermind, I waited 3 days in Riverwood only to see the cheeky so-and-so turn up back at the inn where I recruited him from! Some stweard he is if I have to keep going back to Riverwood whenever I want anything!
