In short order the prince is on the move again and the soldier follows along closely. A part of him wonders if he should attempt to relax a bit, for Hiro's sake, but even as the idea comes to him he dismisses it without hesitation. [i]'I am already doing so many things to try and change and grow right now, adding yet another at this moment, in this situation, I do not think I can handle it. . .'[/i] Hiro speaks up as they walk and Akito nods slowly. “Yes. The press of people to people who spend most of their time alone gets one's blood pumping. In fact, anything new and different gets the body revved up, so it is prepared to respond should anything threaten the person's life. . .” He's quite sure Hiro didn't want to know that, but now that it's out he simply continues on silently, wanting his betrothed to enjoy his time out rather than dwell on what he would see as depressing facts.

At the comment about never making anything by hand Akito wonders if he's never tried to draw or paint, but then his mind lands on Hiro's magic. “I think the magics you have leaned count. Like any artistic skill, it takes time and practice, and while the results do not stick around, the mere act of it is impressive.” He smiles warmly at Akito, pointing out a stall with little charms that jingle when the wind blows. After a little while however his intended points out that they should be heading home and after checking the sky Akito agrees that it is a good idea. 

Escorting the prince back towards the town entrance he spots the palace horse, the pack of children around it, petting it, looking very cute. He's almost sad that they have to take the beast away, but as it is palace property, he can't very well leave it behind. Not to mention that would mean making Hiro walk back to the palace. He's quite sure the man's feet would be unable to take it. Shooing away the children gently he once more mounts the beast first, holding a hand out towards his betrothed. His soft smile seems almost relaxed. Having moved out of the direct press of people has released some of his tension, and despite the palace being a terrifying place, he prefers it to the multitude of dangers the town represents.
