Just as he was about to sit back, he was suddenly grabbed and turned. He let out a small yelp as his arm was pulled behind his back quite forcefully. "Ow. . ." Before he could say anything else, Akito was gone. Hiro rubbed his shoulder and then his wrist before standing up. The servant had saw what happened and his eyes widened as he rushed over to the prince. 

"Your highness! Are you okay? Do you need me to fetch the Emperor? Or a medic?" He carefully reached out, but hesitated in grabbing his arm to check. The prince held his arm out and with the little medical knowledge the servant did have, he checked to make sure nothing was broken. "It feels fine. . . But-"

"It's fine. It's just a little sore, but that will wear off. It's okay, I promise. . . It was probably just an accident." The prince stopped rubbing his shoulder and looked in the direction Akito went in. "He's fast." 

"An accident?!" 

Before the servant could say anything else, Hironori looked at him. "Tell the my father that I'll be running a bit late. No, don't tell him what happened. You can just say Akito ran off. . . Because he got nervous or something. No need getting anyone else involved okay? Akito is probably punishing himself enough." The servant bowed and went to deliver the message. He sighed and walked off in the direction Akito went. Despite having such a large home, he felt the shorter male would have more than likely hid outside. After all, he didn't feel comfortable anywhere else besides the training grounds. . . "Maybe that's where he went." 

Hironori picked up his pace until he made it into the training room. [I]'Not here?'[/I] "Hm. . " He looked around and then went outside. Still, there was no one in sight. With a slight huff, he turned and caught the attention of a few servants. "Have you seen Akito anywhere?" Two of them shook their heads and apologized, but the third spoke up. 

"He ran to the training grounds not too long ago your highness. He couldn't have came back in without anyone noticing. . . After all, there are many servants here." She bowed afterward and the the waited for his response. 
"Hm. . . You don't think he went off the grounds do you?" 

"It's likely, but I don't suggest you going out alone. It's dangerous."

"Don't worry. You the will know where I am. And if I don't return within the hour. . . Or at least twenty minutes you can send servants to find me." He seemed satisfied with the idea and walked off. The servants gave nervous glances towards each other but complied with his wishes. One planned to stay behind in the training area and wait out those twenty minutes just to be sure. She watched as the prince moved off the grounds and pauses at the thick forest. 

"Akito?" He called out to the trees. He didn't hear anything so he ended up moving further. He realized that the deeper through the forest he went, the darker it became. A small orb grew in his hand, producing a bright light in order for him to see. However, there was still nothing but trees and it was eerily quiet as well. "Akito? If you're going to panic and run away, do you mind just hiding in the palace?" He tugged his robe off a low branch but continued on. He looked back, hoping that straight ahead would be the direction to get back home. It might have even been a good idea to turn around at this point consisting he had no idea where he was. 

"You're not going to get in any trouble Akito. I'm sure it was just an accident. And it's very impolite to keep people waiting when they called for a meal. . ." Hironori sighed and turned around, slowly heading back towards the way he came- or at least hoped it was the way he came. The prince moved slow to give Akito the chance if he was there, and he was also trying to find familiarity in the darkness, which wasn't going so well. So, he just kept going straight.
