Ernesto seems to understand the predicament he was in. Augustine had a secret interest in mares without actually seeking them out. For now, he was too lazy to travel around the islands, but one day he just might. He would wait until mares were brought into the Lagoon and work his magic on them then. Maybe just that act would spread the word of how attractive he was. Of course, once they met his sire he would no longer be such a prize. He listens to Ernesto as he says talking to mares takes a lot of practice. The bay stallion nods his head. Figures it would take work. Everything did.

Now comes his interest in learning Ernesto's accent. He thinks maybe the longer he spends with his father the better he will get. His mother didn't talk the way Ernesto did so he may have been messed up being raised by her first, but he was still young so maybe he could turn this around. He listens as Ernesto says he cannot teach his accent. Augustine pulls his lower lip out in a pout but says nothing as he continues to listen. Ernesto gives his first lesson in woman getting, flattery. Mares loved to be complimented. Augustine begins to take mental notes. Una belleza. He repeats the words in his head before attempting to say them out loud.

"Una belleza." He may not have said it exactly like his father, but he was close. "What does that mean?" Maybe he should have asked that question before speaking the words.
