Rumor has it his 'Aunty Celestia' gave him a stern talking to, he apologized to Rarity about his behavior. Explaining that there's no shortage of noble mares who wanted to court him, and that he thought she wasn't any different. Well she proved him wrong when she simply walked away with a huff. He's been a little obsessed with her ever since. Sending her the occasional letter, all but begging for a second chance. It's true what they say, first impressions really are everything.
