It was a surprise not to be woken up at the crack of dawn--Cater didn't set an alarm on his phone due to the holiday, but he was still expecting Riddle to bang on the door to get him out of bed. Blearily, he reaches for his phone and checks the time, groaning. For all intents and purposes, 8:00AM was beyond sleeping in for Heartslabyul, even on a weekend, but it was still earlier than he wishes he was awake. It must be how used he is to waking up early that jumpstarted his internal clock.

He takes his time getting up, though, scrolling through his phone for about twenty minutes before shuffling out of his room, still in his pajamas with his hair strewn messily around his face. Hearing Riddle's voice, he meanders in that direction, yawning.

"You're joking," he says, knowing that Riddle was far from being a kidder. "This is mega early for vacation hours--and are you really studying already? Did you even eat breakfast?"
