Entry 21, I Regret Nothing

Once more into the breeches, dear friends!
I woke up with Sarah clinging to my arm, requiring a healthy shake before she would rouse and release me. She yowled out a long yawn, giving me a rather hearty whiff of her fishy breath, which nearly knocked me out.
Of course, she took one look at me and went back to sleep, turning over in the bed and curling up to ignore me. I used this newfound freedom to roll and look down at Serena off the edge of my bed. She was sleeping, but she seemed to be doing so uncomfortably, panting out of her mouth and rolling back and forth along the bedskirt. I moved myself off of the bed and sat on all fours, leaning over her.
I didn't regret what I did, I simply regret being born with a nose. To comfort her, I put my hands on her face, feeling the almost burning hot fur for only an instant. I never saw it coming. It was her ear, something that I thought would be soft and cuddly. It bashed me so hard in the nose that I can still feel it as I write.
I think I yelped, I dunno, but something snapped everyone back into consciousness. I was nearly crying with the pain, holding my nose and wincing, but it soon passed, and through watery eyes I saw Serena looking up at me with a touch of guilt and fear. Honestly, that felt worse than my nose.
She was afraid to let me pet her, but I did so anyway, finding out that she was sweating beneath her fur. She cringed a little, but she seemed to cool off a bit after a while.
While she was relaxing, everyone else took the opportunity to wake up properly. They had been startled by my yell, but now that the danger was over, they all returned to normal. Sarah stretched her lithe body and my Prinplup stood up and shook out his feathers. Cole was the only one to wake enthusiastically, immediately beginning his morning workout routine once he was up. I felt so energized just watching him that I would have joined him if I wasn't holding onto Serena.
Breakfast is coming up soon, and after that, we're going to take on the town's local gym. I have Serena across from me on the bed now, still unsure obviously.
I just asked if she liked the name Serena, and she gave me a look. I'm not an expert at figuring out Buneary facial expressions, but I think it said something along the lines of "Call me whatever the fuck you want, I don't care."
So I guess she liked it!
Anyway, the food should be here any minute. When next I write, I should have the badge in my clutches. Until then!
