With the arrival of a cool autumn day, it seems the perfect occasion for Rarity to take Hondo out to spend some time together. Perhaps this weather will do him some good, keep him grounded, keep him calm. Maybe bring him back longer this time around. Goodness knows, they could both use that. Goodness knows, Rarity would rather be focusing on him right now, rather than, say, the ring burning a hole in her purse.
But this is a day that invites introspection. It invites memory. And for Rarity, still reeling from fresh wounds, that's the most painful part.
