Dear Laura,
I have had the pleasure of courtship acceptance, but there's a problem.
My new Norn girlfriend is in the adolescence life stage, while I'm in the youth. Will this effect our relationship?

Dear Infatuated Fool,
I can imagine how you must be feeling. Your heart is all a flutter and you?re anxious, but I assure you, there?s really no need to be worried. Your girlfriend has accepted your courtship because of who you are, and not because of your age. As wonderful as this might be though, young Norns like yourself must remain aware of their impact on those around them. As a species, we have been having a problem with adolescent egg-laying rates over the past decade, with underage kisspopping placing a hefty strain upon the Hand. Often the Hand is left saddled with too many eggs, and the difficult task of finding somewhere to store them all until they hatch! To answer your question: your age difference will not greatly affect the relationship, so long as you remember to take it slow. Spend time together before making any big moves; it is courtship after all. Enjoy a bite of cheese, sit by the honey pots, beneath the hives, and watch the bees buzz about their daily business, or just lay on the docks of Albia's beaches together. Who knows, she could be a youth by the time you're through courting!
- Laura
