The mumbling stops when at last the prince decides to speak up and Akito does his best to lift his gaze, at least a little bit, an listen to the man with full attention. He's sure somewhere in there he said something odd or embarrassing, however as the prince simply kept smiling he figure is must not have boon too bad. He nods slowly in agreement with both the need to find the good in their situation, and that eventually someone else will be around to help him learn. [i]'I bet he really looks forward to that day, when he can pawn be off on others and have his time back to himself. I know royals have responsibilities, but by his won word he live a life more of leisure than of duty'[/i]

He knows once the prince becomes king that will change, however as such a though as ruling at his side threatens to make his catatonic he dispels those thoughts for now, instead focusing on the prince and his words while staring at his chest. Noticing him looking away however he glances up, the follows his line of sight, leaning ever so lightly to see around the taller male. When attention returns to him however he straightens up and goes back to staring at the young man's torso. When motioned forward he complies silently, following behind the taller man with smooth even steps. He is quite curious to see what the prince can do. On the battle field he'd learned to work around huge goughs of flame and freezing ice spears, but other than that he has no idea what one would use magic for.

When the prince pauses and asks him if he wants to see he is confused for a moment, thinking that he'd already consented, however after a brief moment he pulls his gaze up to look into the man's eyes and says quietly, “I would love to see your magic.” For a brief moment the prince goes from intimidating monarch to giddy child and Akito manages a small smile before they are off again. He bows lightly as he passes the prince who opens the door for them, watching him scramble about the cluttered room trying to make a space fore him. He murmurs a thank you and takes a seat in the newly cleared space, letting his eyes drift about the room for a few seconds before refocusing on he betrothed.

He keeps his eyes locked on the candle as he takes his place across the table from the soldier. [i]'Fire and light, two of the most destructive and life giving forces. I wish I could use magic. . .'[/i] While anyone [b]can[/b] do magic, since he knows he does not have the aptitude Aki knows his wish is an idle one. He watches closely, instinctively wanting to warn him not to burn himself, however his instinct is quickly overridden and he simply watches with a wide, fascinated expression. “Huaaaa. . .” he utters in amazement at the man manipulates the flame. The sound he makes is the same as when he is looking at beautiful art.

His eyes narrow at the sudden light but he doesn't look away, not wanting to miss even a second of the demonstration. As such, it takes him a few seconds for his vision to return to normal after the light vanishes. Ce claps lightly, an honest smile on his lips, a look of amazement in his eyes as he looks to the prince. “That was amazing. Most magic I've seen has been trying to kill me. . .That, that was just beautiful. . .” He murmurs the last word, looking down at his own hand's resting in his lap, the fingers laced together. His tone is honest and his smile genuine. Glancing back up at the prince he can feel a kind of calm settle, knowing that they at least have one thing in common. He may not be able to practice it, but he finds magic fascinating.
