Like I want to look like a box fish! What's so charming about a square head, anyway? Too much chlorine has messed up your eyesight, I think. -- The pipefish is more charming, if anything.
[he doesn't let Haru keep waxing poetic on his now beloved boxfish, flipping to the frankly adorable pipefish]
[informs Haru, because he is in fact a nerd]
They're in the same family as sea horses and sea dragons, so the male carries the eggs when they mate, but they're weirder than that. Some mate for life, and some only mate in like, harem-style fish orgies. [a dumb snicker] They really decide their own love lives, I guess.
