Ryiah's Bedtime Routine - WC: 277 - Add'l Coins: 2 (pippets)

Ryiah's bedtime routine is quite flexible! There isn't any strict order to everything, but she definitely needs time to get tired. Normally she winds down the day with a good book, some light stargazing, or whatnot. She commits to her 10 step fur and hoof care routine (whether it actually works it's wonders or is just to help relax her, who knows!). She falls asleep best when it's raining or snowing outside, enjoying the sounds of precipitation on the roof, and watching the snowflakes fall outside of her window until she falls asleep. She has a hard time falling asleep if it's too hot, but luckily that is rarely a problem for her, as it's usually quite comfortable in the town where she lives. Sir Lucian, her Pridingo, has a very strict nighttime routine. This includes pacing the exterior of the house, patrolling to make sure that there is nothing bad out there. Then this repeats inside the house, checking to make sure everything is in it's proper place and whatnot before bed. Afterwards, he tends to sleep by the door or at the foot of her bed. Sleep is a bit of a loose term, as he is still very much a 'guard' in the sense that any noise will wake him up and every now and then he wakes up to do a patrol. He takes his role as the princess's personal knight quite seriously. Her neoleon has a hard time sleeping, always getting excited to see the stars. This is why Ryiah usually stargazes before bed. She makes the neoleon count each star until eventually it falls asleep and she can carry it inside.

Ryiah's Morning Routine - WC: 283 - Add'l Coins: 2 (pippets)

Where Ryiah's bedtime routine is flexible, her morning routine is... not so much. At least for weekdays! For weekdays she gets up early in the morning, usually no later than an hour or two after sunrise. Her day starts by doing her normal hygienic routine, making the bed, drinking a lot of water (sometimes enhanced with some citrus for some extra electrolytes), and then a little bit of exercising outside. The exercise varies by day, but it goes between jogging, walking, and yoga! She will often have very happy and up-beat music playing during this, getting her pumped up and ready for the day. Once she's done, it's time to clean up and do her ten step fur and hoof care routine, and then cook breakfast. Sometimes she skips it if she finds she is a little bit behind in her routine (usually if this happens the exercising takes too long!), but will usually find something quick to-go at the very least. Sir Lucian is more than happy to rise from his sleeping/nightly watch with Ryiah, joining her on all of her fun little exercises. This isn't the same for Ryiah's neoleon, who struggles to fall asleep AND to wake up. Usually it is right before Ryiah is about to leave the house that she goes back to wake up the neoleon, informing the pippet about the day and what lies ahead and allowing it to make the choice whether it wants to partake or stay at home and in bed all day. On the weekends, Ryiah is known to sleep in for a while, but never past noon. Usually on these days, she just makes herself and the pippets a nice brunch, and look to spend some time with friends!
