Never be Afraid of a Little Serenade

Her topic of fish brains and the question of whether or not they did indeed have brains was answered by her sister’s laughter. Smiling back at Arachne, her tail excitedly wagged as she quite enjoyed making her siblings lighten up. Arachne was a quiet girl, always off to the side watching the action, never a participant – while Estie didn’t mind if she liked that sort of thing… it was just the two of them right now and she wanted to make the most of it. Barghest loved her siblings, she proved that with every warm gaze she laid on them.

Arache seemed to believe fish were smarter than they thought, which instantly brought to mind a different creature that didn’t look very smart. “Just like Phobia.” Barghest giggled, hoping her joke at the expense of their trouble making brother would earn her another one of Arachne’s angelic laughs. Though she didn’t really mean it, Obi was just… true to himself. She allowed her humorous mood to die down after a few moments, still tee-heeing but letting her gaze fall to the minnows Ne-ne liked to look at so much, not really seeing why they were so interesting. The pale eyed girl should be more interested in exploring with her! But Estie didn’t need to speak on her thoughts, because her sister asked as much. “Yeah! We should look for a gift from ma and pa!” The girl nodded vigorously, her smile growing wider by the second as she gave Arachne the choice to approve or deny her suggestion. Her body wiggling in delight, if not for the mud she would have been bouncing in place with all her newfound energy.
