( the carp even has a name but he's...just going to keep that to himself. he doesn't need anyone associating him with a fish after this is all over. )

I don't think he'd want to be called a pet for some reason. He doesn't talk but just a hunch.

( last thing he needs is a talking carp. )

You some kind of...information trader or something? Or just have one of those faces that people tell everything to?
