Merlin was an arrogant Puppy. The new kid came and he thought. “Skinny little pup. I take him down.”
Since then he sneaked up on Unagi every day. And he lost every time. Not because that patchy kid was strong but because he noticed him every time and wagged his tail at him wearing a silly puppy grin. What a weird kid.
Merlin didn’t give up though. He tried to jump on him, nibble his tail, but Una’s answer was always a lick on his face or a soft pat on his head. The adult smiled at them as if it was all just a game.
And that weird Una. When Bonito asked him who is he friends with, he said his name! How dare he! They are not friends, but enemies.
Sure, he showed Una how to sneak up on a mouse and a rabbit. He showed him where to hide if he wanna munch on the Egg stash the adults hide. He also stole some ointment when Una was clumsy and scraped his paw. But doesn’t mean they are friends. Not at all. Shortening his name to Una? So what! That doesn’t mean anything.
What? That they slept next to each other? That’s not his fault. He always fall asleep alone and wake up with Una curled up around his body. Next time he should just nip his tail.
