Quail and Riches (help with a title)
Ronny Quince (name set to change) is a talented bounty hunter from a distant galaxy who has a very unusual gift (even for an alien) - he is invincible. The story "Quail and Riches" is a science fiction/fantasy journey that re-tells his life as he finally lays on his death bed (don't ask, complicated plot twist). I need a little help with the title.
The "Riches" part of the title of course refers to him being a bounty hunter and having a lot of money. The "Quail" part is meant to refer to him being lonely, having given up hope of ever being truly happy because he will outlive anyone he ever loves. Problem is, the word "quail" is also the name of bird.
Anybody think the title is misleading and should be changed? Or is it fine the way it is?
