Zorat woke pretty early, before the day was even fully bright out.
He had a lot to do today, and he also has to send Kaelara off, lest someone notices she's been to and from his cabin; that would needlessly complicate some of his plans.
Sitting up, he noticed as usual, Florielle had already woken up and had probably returned to the palace kitchen to make his morning breakfast.
Zorat turned to his side to see Kaelara was still sleeping blissfully.
He got out of bed, bent low beside the sleeping beauty, and with a little nudging, he managed to stir her awake.
Kaelara batted her large hazel eyes repeatedly until Zorat's visage came into view; immediately, a wide smile spread across her face.
"Good morning master " she croaked in her strained morning voice.
