Dear Laura,
A Hunter Norn in my world stole my Quirky Cookie recipe and ingredients and made hundreds of Quirky Cookies, but my friends and I feel that he hasn't been sharing them around enough. In fact, he's been hanging out in the Grendel Jungle and only giving them to his friends which we think spoils the spirit of sharing, something he faithfully promised to do. You might think me stupid for trusting a Hunter Norn, but he promised so very sweetly. He and his friends are scoffing all the cookies and chewing so loudly I can hear them all the way across the Ark. I just know they're spraying crumbs all down their fur... or scales... it's disgusting!!! He taunts me by saying that if I dare, I should come and get some. Quite frankly, Miss Laura, I don't dare. I know that eventually more ingredients will grow, but I have a craving for cookies now! I'm going green with jealousy and I can't eat anything else or sleep. Please help us Miss Laura, it's making us feel intensely sad and nauseated. How can I stop caring about what this horrible Hunter Norn does, and take our just revenge?

Dear Turbulent Treehugger,
There?s no need to stoop down to this Hunter Norn?s level, you can be the nicer Norn in this scenario. I find that the view from the moral high ground can be a lot more satisfying than any act of revenge! Being a Treehugger Norn like your good self, I am a big advocate of the delicious crunchy crumbliness of those Quirky Cookies, but during my travels around the Ark I?ve discovered that pancakes are very mouth-watering too. So, why don?t you leave the Hunter Norn and his friends to gobble their cookies, find a nice pancake recipe and rustle up a batch of those instead? Then, you can purposely make a point of sharing them with everyone (even with the Hunter Norn and Co.) and don?t forget the lashings of maple syrup! Hopefully your act of kindness will prompt him to seriously think on his selfish behaviour and turn over a new leaf, and you?ll look much better in comparison. Bon app?tit!
