Dear Laura,
I have heard of Norns making Grendel-hide couches and boy, they look good! So I went back to the Desert Terrarium to find a dead Ettin and I made it into a couch. It's very comfy, so do you think I should keep it, or sell it for a cheese vendor? I can't decide.

Dear Designer Ettin,
If only you?d jumped on the bandwagon sooner! Once a must-have for the Norn Home, furnishings tailored from various corpses are seemingly going out of fashion. I?ve witnessed Grendel-hide couches being launched out of the airlocks, or abandoned on the bridge to gather dust, in recent days, because their owners cannot sell them for love or carrots. Apparently, they're also subject to many consumer complaints about possessions getting lost too easily inbetween the cushions. A design flaw, I gather. In short; like those tired Grendel hides, this upholstery industry is now in tatters. If I were you, I?d just keep the Ettin-fur couch as an inheritance for your offspring and take up designing blueprints instead. Or hand knitted tea cosies.
