"Made Wrong"

"Ugh." Frankie's eyes followed Lagoona wistfully from their perch across the Coffin Bean, where they were leaning on their sewed-together elbows over the back of the sofa. "Lagoona is so pretty it makes me hate myself."

Clawdeen half-listened from the chair beside them, sipping from her travel mug and glancing the same way. "She so is."

The sea monster was chatting away with Deuce as he worked, fins amiably flapping. Frankie turned back to face their werewolf friend, flopping back into a sitting position on the couch. "I wish I had gills and scales."

Clawdeen did her best to summon up something comforting. "You are as God made you."

At that, Frankie paused. "But I was made out of corpses by a mad scientist who married his own sister."

"Oh." Clawdeen considered the best way to salvage this, then decided. "Well. It's still not your fault you're ugly."

Pleased with her masterful handling of the situation, she returned her attention to her coffee, as Frankie took this in and pondered the implications for their lack of gills and scales.
