If you can think of a better fish pun let minnow

Cricket’s exclamation that the first girl really was more like him than his brother had Ghoul feeling more relief than he expected. Turning his ruby gaze to the splotchy girl, he smiles gently. Muskie. Not a bad name. Then she points to the only one and names him Gourami. “Gourami,” Ghoul whispers, his nose moving to nudge the lightly green tinted boy. A happy hum leaves him as he then looks to Coho and Molly. Both pale and taking after him. “Good names so far,” he whispers, the smile broadening until they get to the last girl and Cricket says Hagfish.

“Hagfish?” Ghoul asks, holding back his confused expression as he notices the happy thump of her tail against the ground. While he wanted to protest, he wouldn’t. He had already agreed that she could name them after fish and hadn’t given her any ground rules. She also wasn’t giving him any more time to fester over it. So many girls and only… one boy.

His eyes look to Gourami again and his lips draw into a tight line. “They’re going to pummel him, aren’t they?” He noses the boy once more before resting his chin on Cricket’s side. “I think we will be fine. They shouldn’t be… too hard to handle. Right?” Ghoul really shouldn’t have been speaking on the subject considering he only had one sister and… she had never been fond of him. Was this some sort of prank?
