Dear Laura,
My Grendels don't like me, I don't know why. I feed them, pet them and treat them with love but they won't love me back. Then I'm forced to beat them into the piranha pool for not loving me. What should I do?

Dear Grendels Hate Me,
Grendels aren't used to being petted as your Norns are, because let's face it; a slap is a sign of affection amongst their species. You really shouldn't punish your Grendels for not loving you either, it just isn't in their nature for them to respond to affection in a Nornish way. Saying that, you still need to care for them, but if you try to care for them as if they're Norns, they won't take you seriously. Of course, they are rougher than the Norns, but if you treat them correctly, they will respond with their own Grendel-like affections. In order win their respect back, you could always supply them with a Beowulf Norn piñata that they can hit at will with sticks, I'm sure that's something that they will appreciate.
