Relationships Between Norns, Grendels, and Hootch

Junkerdal danced among the bees for quite some time before the incessant stinging stopped for a moment. The annoyed bees found a newcomer, Inndyr, and decided to welcome him with a barrage of stings! Luckily, Junkerdal left the little critters alone so she could spend some time with an actual Norn. What happened was probably quite expected… Another egg! The couple stayed together much longer than I had anticipated, which was nice in terms of socialization, but it kept Junkerdal from eating very much in front of Inndyr. The state of easy distractions struck again!

Korgen and Alfhild were glued together, and they had a sort of obsessive relationship between them. Although Korgen appeared happy, I constantly had to intervene to get him to eat. I’m also very fond of my C1 Grendels, yet Alfhild has turned out to be a very grumpy one! She constantly slapped Korgen, then turned around and kisspopped with him. Oh dear! With all of the stress, Korgen was completely infertile at a young age of about five hours old. My next main goal would be centered around separating Korgen and rehabilitating him. He would require lots of extra care to bring him back to full health again.

Hopen and Junkerdal were very excited to journey back to the Albian island. The first was carrying an egg with her, courtesy of Inndyr! He certainly seemed to be taking after his father. There was little to worry about with Hopen: She was excellent at taking care of herself, and the only real intervention she needed was a way to escape from others. Norns need a balance of spending time alone and with others, in order to prosper. Often, the hardest task of all is convincing one that the group can live without him or her for a little while!

Inndyr was able to explore the settlement on his own, and he made it down to the shower area before turning back for more familiar surroundings. He finally fell asleep, not entirely from natural means… Notice anything suspicious? That can of hootch certainly was not untouched! He was actually very admirable for enjoying it in moderation, though. Many Norns and Grendels from Creatures 1 gulp all the hootch as quickly as possible! Inndyr was slightly more refined than all that, and he rested calmly among the steady buzzing.
