Dear Laura,
Two of my Norns hatched a baby today. I was very excited, but there seems to be a problem! The poor thing has been sneezing since the minute he was born and he is scared of the technology! He even refuses to push elevators! Is there any way to rehabilitate my dear little Hatchling?

Dear Caretaker Hand,
In a case like this, traditional Norn-rearing may not be an option. However, if you?re strong and willing enough to let go of your beloved Hatchling, then a new, feral existence in the swamp may be his one chance to live happily with other creatures. The poor Ettin who dwells there is always sniffling, so they can sneeze together, in harmony! You needn?t worry either, as he?ll have everything he needs; the earth is rich and fertile, so nutritious carrots and potatoes are plentiful, while the volcano smoulders nearby to keep out the cold on those bitter winter nights. The use of the elevators is also essential in the neighbourhood, in order to pick and sample the succulent fruit that?s heavily laden on each branch. Hopefully the Ettin can teach your Norn to embrace them, by pushing one button at a time. After all, I bet he?d prefer to sleep in a comfortable treehouse, rather than share the cramped doghouse with Pitz!
