Hugo awoke once more in his bed. The previous night had been intensely loud, with banging and burning and stomping around directly above his head. Someone had apparently taken up a space on the roof right on top of his room. He turned over onto his right side and buried his face in his pillow, cursing the bad sleep he'd gotten, but at least he'd gotten some. The noises seemed to have stopped at around midnight.

He grumbled and rolled over a few more times, trying to get comfortable. It didn't work, so he threw the freshly cleaned blankets off of himself and stood to make coffee in his mini-kitchen in his pink pajamas.

Some time later, his coffee was finished - some high end brand of caramel toffee flavored coffee, which he drank with gusto. Satisfied with his morning, he sleepily changed into his black Adidas tracksuit again and wandered outside.

Raaawk sleepily opened his eyes and glared at the sun. It was too early for it to be out, but he'd learned that arguing with nature didn't generally go well. One time, he'd tried to fly into the sun to kill it, but nearly suffocated and crashed back into the ground, fracturing his right wing.

He rolled out of his 'bed' of leaves and ground charcoal to give himself a quick brushdown with the large, rough brush he packed. Some minutes of brushie brushie later, he put it down and pulled out a very fine brush to fix his ruffled crown and chin feathers. Satisfied with his cleaning, he shook himself off, sending a spray of black dust across the rooftop, revealing a brilliant shine and scattering rainbow sparkles across the courtyard.

Clean once more, Raaawk wandered to the edge of the rooftop and perched himself on the handrail to overlook the students that morning. He would be impossible to miss for anybody wandering outside.
