Dear Laura,
For a long time, I've been a loner. As of late, I've noticed that I've a bit of a temper, and decided that getting a real social life might do me some good. Only problem: I can't stand the other Grendels. Their tastes are far too different from mine for me to like them in the slightest. So oddly, I'm drawn to the Norns. And that's where another problem comes in: I'm also extremely shy and afraid that they might not accept me for my species. What's a lonely Grendel to do?

Dear Confused Grendel,
It?s understandable to be frustrated in your situation, but it won?t help to make some new friends; you?d scare off the Norns! You could always try dressing up in an old Norn skin (I assume you Grendels have them lying around as trendy hearthrugs...) as a cunning guise, to blend in and build a rapport with the Norn clan. Although, this idea does have its dangers. If your disguise slips, during a particularly intense game of bouncy ball, this may leave you even more hated. Perhaps it would be safer to win the Norns? hearts from a distance. The giving of cheese is often the way to a Norn's heart, but in this case, it's probably wiser to give them something that they know can't be laced with Glycotoxin. An assorted gift basket of carrots, juicy apples, honey, tendril seeds, etc. will be more likely to win them over. You should however avoid the fungi, as the Norns may remember the Deathcap Mushroom of Albia long-past. Also, try not to grin too widely; showing your teeth might give them a fright.
