At the soft expression on her face he found himself smiling. It was the same sort of look that his mother often gave him. Something about the familiarity was rather comforting and he was able to relax a little.
"Think elegant?" It sounded like a rather simple task. He began to repeat the phrase as he tried to figure out exactly how one could 'think elegant'. It had always seemed to be more of a state of being than a state of mind to the young foal. Whenever his sister referred to someone as elegant it tended to be more directed to their physical looks and actions.
"Milady...how does one think elegantly?" If he could get a grasp on that then perhaps he would be able to do it himself and perform in the end. Perhaps even by the end of the day.

'Elegance is just a certain sort of attitude that you show, in your movements and your walk. Glide along - don't clomp your hooves - and just be quietly confident.'
She looked at the colt's puzzled expression.
'Everything does come with practice, and as long as you pay attention to your appearance, elegance shouldn't be far behind.' Aishwarya had honestly never thought that her day would involve a discussion into the technical aspects of an elegant walk!

The young purple foal listened intently to what she said. They seemed to be going in a bit of a circle as far as the conversation was concerned. Fionn found that he didn't mind this at all however. It made catching what was important easier on him. "So...all I must do is have confidence in myself and practice showing that in my movement?" His head tilted to one side slowly as he spoke. Somehow saying it seemed so easy so why did the application of it take so much?
"Ummm...Milady...if it's not too much of a trouble...could you...please walk for me again?" Perhaps another demonstration would be useful. Perhaps if he could see her move again he would understand a bit better. The walk was a crucial part of being an acceptable princess after all or at least that's what he had been told.

'Exactly.'
Aishwarya couldn't really explain it in any other way; there really wasn't a different way to say it! Elegance was a state of mind, as well as an attention to ones outward appearance, and that was all there was to it. Fionn would either attain what he felt he wanted to be like or he wouldn't.
'Sure, if you like.' Aishwarya wondered how much longer a lesson the colt would want. He was sweet enough, but she did want to reach the Village before dark. She shook her mane from her face and walked forward a short distance, before turning, her tail braid flicked out of the way as she headed back towards where Fionn was standing.

Fionn watched her every move like a hawk. Every step forward, every sweep of her beautiful hair, and every movement she made he tried to commit to memory. As she returned to him he stopped staring at her and just prayed that his memory wouldn't fail him. "Thank you kindly milady." He said bending one of his front legs to go into a low bow.
As he straightened up his ears twitched. He could hear something on the wind. A familiar, out of key, hummed tune. It was one that he had only heard from one person. A slight look of horror filled his eyes at the realization: his sister was heading back.
"If you'll pardon me milady I need to go." He said rather quickly dipping his head towards the Earth once again. "Thank you so very much for everything." He hated to be rude but if his sister found him missing...he didn't want to think of the lengths she'd go to in order to get him back. To avoid such a situation he bowed one more time before racing off back to the log. He hoped that the words of Aishwarya would benefit him so that one day he too could walk like a proper princess.
