Volgin was caught in a spot of morning restlessness, a holdover from his days of strict, demanding scheduling, as the shining example to his men, that had him up in the earliest hours when the sun had barely risen. It was foreign, a strange thing, to wake up later. He only recently had been able to rise without panicking over a disrupted schedule that kept the great Groznyj Grad running proper; lateness was a sign of sickness, or a call for discipline if it were not him.
He enjoyed making examples for his men.
Today, a spot of curiosity had led Volgin to the Stadium, and today, he found someone there. At this time! How interesting. The giant wondered which of the morning-types (he had a few suspects) were there.
(He had to be surprised at himself; his capacity for going on so little sleep was still there, even in his creeping age.)
