The Prince wakes slowly, his sleep quite deep and restful.  When he is aware of his surroundings, he can't find Chibi, but isn't too concerned, at least until he hears the rumors over breakfast.  He quickly gets armored up and leaves the castle, muttering, "If I find out who let him outside the castle walls, I'm going to have them cleaning the latrines for a week.  And his father's not going to treat me too well if anything has happened to him."
