Despite having grown up on a farm, and then being a king (which is an even earlier rise, believe it or not), Garion is not and never has been a 'morning person' because that implies there is a time when he isn't by default just a bit grumpy.

It doesn't help that he was told as a boy that the morning exists purely so that night and afternoon don't bump into one another and he's never quite stopped believing it.

He'll offer a crooked smile at Fitz.

"If only." He spreads a hand. "If I could avoid it, I would. I have to listen to it too, after all."
