kalon's typical day;;
Each morning Apollo is roused from bed by a servant's polite entreaties for him to wake up. It's usually close to eleven by this point, noon if Apollo has recently fired someone and the new hire is still skittish and hesitant to risk his sleepy wrath. As the second son of the king he is fed in the Main Dining Hall with the rest of his family, although considering the time Apollo finally climbs out of bed he's usually eating breakfast while his father and cousins dine on lunch. The chef knows to make an exception for him, and he's liable to loudly chew bacon while everyone else eats cucumber sandwiches instead. Conversation is polite and frankly boring.
Apollo's afternoon schedule differs. Thankfully he doesn't have much responsibility of his own, as his elder brother bears the brunt of the inheritance and Apollo is expected singularly to not be an embarrassment to the family. So sometimes he hunts, or sometimes he goes into town to shop, or sometimes he meanders through the castle scaring the staff that lingers in the back staircases for a break. Mostly he does what he's best at and disappears into the nearby stretch of woods for days at a time, occasionally with a companion but mostly on his own. Each time he returns home he's voracious for a celebration of some sort and is liable to invent a holiday to excuse his behavior and then all of the nearby royals come, the families' attendance expected. Apollo's father dotes on his youngest child with a blind eye. It is frequently whispered behind closed doors that he's the favored heir.
He goes to bed late. Most nights he just falls into bed when he's too tired to stand up anymore, and he doesn't have much of an opportunity to glance at the clock on his way down. He's lucky if he makes time before to eat something, but his best servants have learned to take advantage of this and most evenings leave food at the foot of his bed to earn his affection. Sometimes pastries, sometimes meat; a bite of food that curbs his appetite and lets him sleep unperturbed. He keeps these servants the longest, and they are all aware of it, so the staff does their best to satisfy him with food thieved after-hours from the kitchen.
At night, Apollo dreams. He dreams of strange, strange things, of the weight of a crown at his temple, of the sensation of a cape lounging from his shoulders. He dreams of things that while awake he would never think of, of a dispassionate jealously for his absent brother, of the greatness he is destined for while Apollo is meant to be... what? Second in line? If asked Apollo would be loathe to admit he wants the crown but while he sleeps he dreams of what being a king might be like. In the morning, when the servants wake him, he opens his eyes with a devious smile.
