"I hatched to early, a shark cracked my egg when no one was looking, which is typical." Seaweed began, " it managed to this to my face before someone got there to help. I nearly died. And I look... You can see what I look like. The shark was dead, I was not. You'd think it would earn me extra love and attention, and it gave me the attention. But not the love. No one could look at my face. So basicly, my mom didn't really care for me. She gave me food and let me live there, but it was clear she cared for my brother, current, much more. Everyone else wanted to know I remembered it, if I knew what it felt like. They treated me like a hero. I knew I wasn't one. They only wanted me to feel accepted, by order of the queen, when I made one of them tell me that they really wanted me gone, since I can't see out of one eye, and... This. " seaweed gestured to his face.

 "That's - that's terrible!" Lemur exclaimed .

 "Well, it's ok. I come here to get away from all that. They either treat me like I can't do anything, like I'm a dragonet that's only just hatched, or like I shouldn't exist. I told you my story . Your turn!"

 " my tribe acts like everything is perfect, but my grandma lied. She told me my mom was alive, she told me over and over again. There was this but I was t allowed to go to, so when she and my brother ocelot  weren't home, I went. My mom was there. She was dead. She had died years ago, but she was still there. And ocelot and sunshine were there, and hey didn't save her! And they act like the world has nothing bad in it. "

 "oh." Seaweed said. "It's definitely not perfect, is it? The world can never be perfect."

Lemur just say there, in silence, thinking. Were seawings afraid of sharks? They had done that to seaweed? She found herself edging closer to him. He was like an island in an ocean of "perfect". He was right, nothing was, is, or will be perfect.

"I've - I've got to go. Sun time is almost over." Lemur told seaweed. " Come had tomorrow? Same time? "

Seaweed nodded, and lemur flew back into the rainforest. Toucan was awake, but lemur managed to not be seen. She settled in on a low platform, and lied there, waiting to be found by toucan. Tomorrow she intended to go see seaweed again. Or should she call him sea? He has said to call him sea. She would go had to that beach as much as she possibly could.
