As they entered the dining hall, Hiro nodded to both his parents and then quietly took a seat. It was obvious of his father’s disapproval towards his wife’s moving about. Everyone seemed to disapprove it, however the Empress had no intentions of staying still until she was sure she couldn’t move anymore. Though, with how stern the Emperor was, and how she had been short of breath a few times, she decided that she might as well ease up a little on all the moving around. That didn’t mean she would stop helping for the wedding, even if the Emperor insisted that they had the finest planners there was. As both young men sat down, Hiro looks up and smiles at his stepmother. “Our day?” For him, it was filled with simply explaining the whereabouts of Akito’s new home. It wasn’t the most exciting thing in the world, but he had to admit that reminding himself where everything was had been pretty helpful. “Well, it was nice, but I’m sure Akito’s opinion would be the judge of that. After all, I simply went around showing him where everything was. He got a grand tour from me personally.” The prince chuckled lightly. “But, that doesn’t mean it was all that great for Akito. Along with that grand tour, I also showed him to his new room of course and explained that he could also ask the servants for assistance. All that stuff.” Hiro waved his hand as if wrapping up what he had to say. “Mhm, so in any case, Akito should be the one to give feedback.”

The Emperor raised an eyebrow as Hiro spoke. “New room? You two won’t be sharing a room?” He didn’t sound disappointed but his tone did hold curiosity to it. His gaze went from Hiro to Akito with the question. The Empress, who had seemed to catch on to Akito’s timidness more so than the Emperor smiled and spoke up before Akito could. 

“He’s probably just getting settled dear. Not to worry. Though that does remind me,” She motioned to one of the servants standing by. “Do get someone to take Aki’s new clothing and put it in his room. Not Hiro’s. Thank you darling.” She smiled as the servant bowed and hurried off. “Oh, that is still such a lovely and cute pet you have.” The Empress smiled in delight and then nodded. “Anyway, yes, how do you like everything so far? Anything you’d like, or like to know?” While the attention turned to Akito, Hiro quietly grabbed a few meats and veggies for his plate and began to eat. He listened, wondering how Akito would respond, or if he'd crack under pressure from all the attention he was getting. [I]'Poor thing. . . Maybe I shouldn't have put him on the spot like that. . . Well, he's going to have to learn eventually.'[/i]
