1000 hours;
I decided to pay Marlene another Surprise visit again when boys weren't looking, turns out, she was making pillows with those sacks. I still refuse to believe she's innocent, No one is that happy to see a person they just met.
And as it turns out, Kowalski made some incorrect calculations, the otter isn't from Caroline but Instead Northern California. I can't get her expression from when I 'popped in' out of my head, it was different that she was so excited, her habitat seemed more homely today than yesterday.
I presume it's from having some time to make it look more like a place to live than a zoo exhibit. Her walls were covered in finger paintings. And the pillows made from the sacks were scattered about her home. I'm not sure if she's hiding something or if she is just a jumpy person, because it seemed that every time I did something she seemed to lunge backwards or away.
I admit my actions might have been a bit surprising but I was on red Alert in her presence, that odd heart racing feeling happens more often now, But maybe I'm just paranoid, Nah, she's defiantly up to something.
1300 hours;
I'm getting the feeling she's catching on about our 'military training routine' because before I left her habitat earlier she had said something to me, it made my skin crawl yet at the same time filled me with happiness and pride 'Have fun with your team military man.'
To me it seemed kind of obvious that she was catching on, but still she could mean anything by that. Inside I'm getting the feeling she isn't a spy never was one and will never be one. But for some reason I couldn't visiting her, I've been over 2 times to see her today and 2 times when she first arrived.
The heart racing feeling has grown to more, my mind races and I start to feel hot. Of course I'm a penguin and she's an otter, I'm from Antarctica and she's from California , I live I the cold and she's lives in the hot, her habitat was rather warm.
I know that she isn't a spy but something is still off about her, she seems to be more smiles and happiness, and she isn't well disciplined. Still it makes me feel at peace sometimes, maybe that's why I go over to visit her often.

It's Strange but Marlene came by to watch us train, I told her that our Practices were strictly private, she only nodded and sat to watch. I really didn't mind her watching, it gave me a reason to try harder in training, I didn't want to look like a wimp in front of a crowd, no matter the number.
She seemed so interested by what we were doing, and it was odd to have her staring at our every move, Maybe I'm paranoid but it seemed like she was watching mostly me. Of course what interest would this otter have in me more than the others.
2100 hours;
So maybe I'm not paranoid because Private pointed out she spent the most time watching me. Now that didn't Exactly make me feel bad but it did give me a bit of the Hebe-jibes. Maybe it was that I was faster at performing the Moves than the others.
None the less it was an awkward conversation to talk about, especially after Kowalski confirmed Privates Idea that she took more interest in me. It seemed unlikely to me of course, And it gave me a small feeling of Pride in my stomach.
Private and Kowalski actually went over there to visit her, I had an urge to go along but I felt it better to relax at home than partake it visit I would most likely have the rest of my life for, so Rico and I were left here to relax, I'm getting a feeling that Rico doesn't like visiting her because he doesn't have anything to contribute to the conversation.
2250 hours; Private came back all excited from his visit even Kowalski seemed a bit more cheery upon his arrival, I wonder what they could have talked about, but it seemed that Private kept glancing at me and smiling happily like he knew something I didn't.
I wasn't sure if I wanted to know or if it was just my job to know, but when I asked them about it, Kowalski's reply was 'it's Classified information.' now I know how others feel when I say that, it stings a little to not be let in.
Either way I let It go because Kowalski needed the pick-me-up he'd been down in the dumps for a while and I wasn't really sure why, I doubt it was his miscalculation, Kowalski isn't one to get upset over stuff like that, but we've got training in the A.M. so I let it slid for now.
