Ah. Now that was one of the more difficult questions pertaining to this sort of thing. It was also one with which Rarity had some experience. "Well, that does make this sort of thing a bit scarier than it needs to be," she admitted. "If it does happen - and I don't think it will, in your case, but if it does - that's when you find some time away from him, let all your friends tell you he was not worth your time, and one good cry and half a box of chocolates later, you simply move on." Goodness knew she'd wailed for hours over the dismal results of her time with Prince Blueblood, though admittedly that was more of a case of watching her dreams of becoming a Canterlot princess go up in ill-mannered smoke than it was a result of any real heartbreak. "Though if you can, you do remain friends with him, because there is no sense in tossing away a perfectly good friendship."

She paused, switching gears. "But why are we talking about that right now? You haven't even told him yet!" She nudged her again, with a bit more oomph this time. "Next time he's alone. You will tell him, yes?" Her tone, eager and emphatic as it was, didn't really leave room for a 'no.'
