Pinkie feels bad about leaving before they're even out of Pride HQ. But she's barely left the penthouse since Tiger came back and Kido left, and she can't stay inside anymore - she just can't.

She's pretty quiet during the trip, and once they're arrived she doesn't seem particularly interested in the lions and tigers that were the actual object of the trip. Instead she wanders off towards another part of the shelter. She can be found in a pen with a few ponies, kneeling down with her arms wrapped around the neck of a particularly calm gray mare. It's not an excited hug. She just seems to be holding onto the pony and talking quietly to it.
