<div style="text-indent:1em;">Edrin woke up well before the sun rose, as he did everyday before.  There was no sound in Madame Ruse's, no one woke before him.  He dressed in silence, a pair of well worn jeans with no shirt to match, he preferred to show off the well muscled torso his scales covered.  The silver scales where all a mirror polish, the single benefit of Edrin's draconian ancestry being never having to worry about hygiene.</div><br/><br/><div style="text-indent:1em;">Edrin then left his room for the kitchen, finding a moderately sized platter sat on the counter. A large piece of meat with various vegtables and breads sat on it's silvered surface, left by the cooks the night before.  They knew that Edrin would want to eat when he woke, but not wanting to wake up before him the two parties had come to this agreement.  He cleared the plate in moments, leaving it out for the cook to clean as was their agreement, and walked back into the hall.  He strode down the passages length until he came to a large wooden door, it was the door everyone entered through.  And next to it sat a small wooden chair, where Edrin began his morning workouts.</div><br/><br/><div style="text-indent:1em;">First came stretches, the sound of soft grunts echoing through the halls as he loosened old worn muscles.  Next came a 30 min jog, up and down the hall in perpetual silence.  Then, fifty reps of fifty different bodywieght exercises, which he would follow with a shorter 10 min jog and another set of fifty reps each.  By the time he was half way through the second round, many of the help and some guests had began to wake up.  Edrin had just finished the final rep of handstand pushups when Felix started walking down the hall.</div><br/><br/><div style="text-indent:1em;">"I was beginning to worry," Edrin started, as he tipped his balance forward into a graceful roll, "that I would have to great the new blood by myself.  Imagine the horror of my face being the first thing they see."  He slowly seated himself in his chair, assuming the position he would take for the rest of the day, when he wasn't attending to his duties.  "Well, I'm ready to greet our newest additions when you are."</div>
