She watches Ernesto closely. She was nervous because so much could go wrong in her decision to approach the Lusitano stallion. This was the first time they could have an actual conversation where she wasn't confused. Cherish was in a much better state since leaving the lagoon. Her foal-like state was disappearing and she was becoming a more mature mare to match her age. Ernesto greets her in that same odd tongue he always had. That was her first clue who wasn't Soljor, but she had allowed him to mount her anyway. He soon mentions those last moments he has seen her.
Cherish thought she remembered seeing Ernesto in the distance when she escaped with Clarity and Macabre. He had not tried to go after them and he had not tried to stop them. She always wondered why, but she would never ask. There was only one thing she that worries her now. "Please don't tell Cullen you saw me." She says with blue eyes pleasing the stallion's silence. A part of her missed her sons, but she couldn't go back there. Even with a lot of her life spent in the lagoon, she did not belong there. Not without Soljor.
"Could you tell me something?" She asks softy. She says her question before giving Ernesto time to answer her previous one. "How are my boys doing? Cullen and Augustine. Are they healthy?" She wishes she could just stroll into the lagoon and visit, but she would never be allowed to leave. Cullen would pry information out of her until she told him where Macabre was. He might even use her to lure the mare back.
