Hiro continued messing with the petals on the ground before heaving another sigh. "Well, I can't stay out here forever. I'm sure at least my father has finished complaining and grumbling." He spoke to himself, sitting up. He shook his head, letting the loose petals fall out his hair. Despite agreeing with himself that it was probably best to go back, he let himself sit with his childish temper tantrum a bit longer. [I]'He just doesn't understand.'[/i] A bird created from his fire flew around him. He watched it pause in front of him after a few moments and twirl before exploding into a pretty light show, that would be even better in the dark. Once he got that out of his system, Hironori stood up and made his way back to where everyone was still congregated. 

His footsteps were light and barely noticeable, but he did pause a few paces back when he overheard Akito and the general. [I]'Now why are they out? Did something happen?'[/I] Their voices were unmistakable, so out of curiosity, he paused and listened mainly wondering if everything was okay and making sure his father didn't screw something up. Hiro had caught something about Akito's self control and the kid comment. The prince smiled a bit before moving through to the dining area another way. [I]'Just finding comfort in family. It makes sense. Hm, I wonder how he could learn better self control. . . [/i] "Hopefully treating me like a child has been overlooked completely." 

Hironori continued walking. Though now, his hands were behind his back and he hummed softly as he walked towards the two. When he reached where the two were, Hiro merely looked between them and gave a polite smile before going about his way. If he said anything about the two and their discussion, he was sure he'd embarrass Akito more- and it was just rude to eavesdrop. Hiro realized he only was walking back to appease his father before going about the rest of the day. He didn't mind if the general and Akito stayed outside and missed what he had to say.

"Have you finally come to your senses child?" The Emperor raised an eyebrow before finishing up his food. Hiro stayed standing near the door. 

"When do I ever?" He retorted before crossing his arms and sighing. "I came back to apologize for my rude behavior. It was very childish of me and I'll try not to do such a thing again." It was obvious that the prince didn't really mean all of what he said, but it was enough to make his father nod in a sort of contentment. "Though, seeing that lunch is over I think I'll be taking my leave." 

"Oh, don't go too far just yet. It's after lunch. The general did say he'd be leaving after." The Empress mentioned. Hironori nodded and sat back down, watching as the servants gathered the dishes around them.
