Osric started. He slowly opened one eye. Taking in his surroundings, he realized he'd fallen asleep on the porch. He also realized the sun was shining, and most people were having breakfast, which told him he'd been unusually tired. It was uncharacteristic for him to sleep so late.
Getting up with some minor dicomfort, he headed inside, making a mental note to himself to never sleep in a chair again. He ordered water to be heated for a bath. He needed to freshen up.
A while later and feeling quite refreshed, he headed to the stables. He greeted his horse with a pair of apples. He decided to ride into the center of town. He saddled Shadow and gave him a pat, mounted and set off at a fast-paced trot.
