"Okay, Rarity... that's a name that makes a pony feel fond of it just by hearing it."
A pony from a small place with dreams of fashion; it was just like herself when she was young.
And the fact that this lucky pony could make Aurora personally run an errand to get an autograph meant that this pony's 'flair' had also been 'bewared' by Aurora.
Iris left a message for Rarity on the frontispiece, encouraging her to stick to her dreams.
Sharing the same background, Iris knew how much resistance one would encounter when showing their talent in a small place, but if one waits patiently when they feel they can't go on, they will eventually split open the outer stone and discover the gem hidden within.
"This is bad."
After reading the message Iris wrote on the frontispiece, Aurora couldn't help but frown. But this expression only lasted for a moment before she immediately relaxed.
"Rarity might faint on the sofa when she sees this."
"You're getting more and more fond of joking."
Iris covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
"I should go. Goodbye, my friend, I hope when we meet again, you will agree to be a model for a day."
Hearing that Iris still 'wouldn't give up' on her, Aurora's smile faltered slightly.
Iris was probably just joking, right?
Aurora packed away the book with Iris's autograph intended for Rarity, and then went directly to a nearby post office to mail it.
She had gotten Rarity's home address during her trip to Ponyville, and Aurora had even sent her a card before Hearths Warming Eve. Later, they often corresponded, although most of it was Rarity asking her about Canterlot.
Sending her a 'big gift' this time should make her happy for a long time.
Thinking of this, Aurora couldn't help but smile.
And this smile froze on her face when she caught a glimpse of Sunset Shimmer at the corner.
"Senior Sister? When did you arrive?"
"I didn't arrive here."
It seems it was a coincidence.
Aurora breathed a sigh of relief, although she didn't know why she was sighing in relief.
"I've just been following you all the way."
"..."
(Flying Light: *a type of plant)
"You really do make friends everywhere, future supermodel Flying Light~"
Sunset Shimmer raised an eyebrow with a half-smile, while calmly walking to her left side.
"Forget about being a model, I'd rather just continue being my 'nerdy junior sister'."
Aurora laughed dryly; she really couldn't appreciate that kind of work that required showing her face in public.
"Everyone is a very nice pony, isn't it normal to joke around and chat a bit more?"
Feeling her left side brushing against Sunset Shimmer from time to time while walking, Aurora said matter-of-factly.
"I'm just worried about you having an accident while out on the street alone."
Sunset Shimmer turned her head to look at Aurora's side profile, where she wore an eye patch. Because she lacked vision on the left, Flying Light shouldn't be able to see her expression right now.
"I'm really a bit worried about you... but it seems you've adapted a bit for now, at least there's no need to worry about encountering any danger."
"It's no big deal, there are tactile paving strips on the road, which give me a fixed reference point to roughly judge the distance."
Besides, her glasses would be finished soon, and then she would be no different from a normal pony.
Because this lens was too rare and too important, Aurora had to be prepared for any contingency. The materials used were the most sturdy and durable, and it also had to be crash-proof and drop-proof.
After all, although the lens had high magic resistance, its physical resistance was relatively average. Although it was made of mineral, once thinned into a lens, it would easily shatter if dropped.
"...Why does your tone feel a bit strange today?"
Because she couldn't see with her left eye, Aurora had to turn her head significantly to look at Sunset Shimmer's face.
However, Sunset Shimmer's expression was as usual, and instead, she looked at Aurora with confusion.
"What's strange? I'm just normally worried about you, after all, you're a 'disabled pony' now."
Sunset Shimmer turned Aurora's head straight. Her field of vision was already halved, yet she still dared to look around while walking.
"Seeing that you're still so lively, I can be a bit more at ease..."
"...Are you giving your final words?"
"I'm alive."
Sunset Shimmer interrupted her ominous words, and incidentally bumped into her gently with her body.
"Let's go, aren't you going to the post office to send things to your friend in Ponyville? I'll accompany you."
