We all make mistakes sometimes
We all have failed where we stand tonight

Was George a kind soul? Debatable.
Was he willing to do a lot of things for a free meal? Yup.
The Tide Pool Bar was a popular destination for humans and Merfolk alike, well-known for excellent breakfasts and brunches and touting an impressive selection of fruity beverages. It was somewhere that George had liked to eat for as long as he could remember whenever he visited the beach - which, admittedly, was not as often as he probably should. People just didn't tend to bring their valuables along when they wanted to soak up the sun and play in the sand and surf, and he was therefore the beach was remarkably useless to him under normal circumstances.
On this particular day, it had occurred to George that perhaps some business owners might need some assistance with the spider silk that had increasingly become a problem since the start of Leafchange. And in return for assistance, he thought, they might be willing to cut a few deals, offer a few freebies. Not that he was trying to take advantage of people in their hour of need, but he was absolutely trying to take advantage. He was a thief, after all. And if the person he was taking advantage of was the King of the Merfolk? Well, it would never hurt to have someone in power owe him a favor, now, would it?
George strode up to the bar, whistling, his hands in his pockets, and looked the place over. "The spiders are making a mess, aren't they?" he called to Hadama, who he knew by reputation. "Need some help?"

Look past, learn, and move on
We're all here; you're not the only one
We're all here; you're not the only one
