Oh yeah, I forgot about Silver and his tactic of "I'm just a poor old stallion, please give me pity sex for my tragic past."
I'm quite disappointed that Iron didn't take a fancy for Blue Skies so we could have a love quadrangle. Maybe get Onyx involved too but I'm fairly certain he's gay.

Nah, he's the chaddest volcel at this point.
He don't need no marefriends. Only meditation and nat20s for him.

She asked him twice to clarify, explain, or elaborate upon the “do not betray [my trust]” line, pulling away from him to signify that this was a very important issue to her that must be answered, and twice, he refused
>Her statement
He could ask. He may not get an honest answer, but he could ask

That stallion was Dark Star, funnily enough.

What is there to clarify? He simply asked not to break his trust. He wasn't implying anything aside from 'Don't screw me over'. If she wanted specifics, she would've asked 'That's rather vague, mind telling me what can break your trust?' instead of going suspicious and scared she's been found out or something with 'What are you implying?'.
>He could ask
But he doesn't want to, because by this point he knows it's a useless line of conversation currently and needs to gain more trust with this mare if he wants to get an honest answer.

Iron doesn't mesh well with Skies and we'll leave it at that.

Sigh
Have you ever seen the “Don’t you fuck me?” scene in the movie Scarface? It’s worded pretty much the same, and it is very obviously a threat.
https://youtu.be/IcInPRRfr9E
He’s clearly implying that he does not trust her. He says this immediately after he has pretty much told her straight up “I am still going to try to date this other girl, by the way,” which is him telling her he does not intend to be faithful in the normal sense, and in any case is a pretty big thing for him to ask. So she is puzzled and offended that he implies that he does not trust her, since she has given her no reason not to, whereas he explicitly told her not to trust him to be faithful.

To be serious for once, it's better to address this misunderstanding IC. I actually thought it was deliberate behavior for potential conflict to be resolved. Saying "I really meant this" OOC ruins the magic of interaction. If your characters got along perfectly just so they could have sex all the time it would be Tumblr-level roleplaying.
Just roll with it and try to emphasize non-verbal communication (like facial expressions) so your characters feel more realistic.

Reeee realistic behavior is people not talking to each other and hating each other. I want ponies fucking.
Also I tried to resolve it in character with unsubtle non-verbal cues. It didn’t take

You're the DM aren't you? Have Sands brood (non-literally) for a while and come up with a creative situation that will force Iron to adapt. Do you even watch Neckbeardia (now Thread Thrasher)?
Also, different personality types exist. Most people break off contact but others are the coming-back sort.

I mean, I guess she would just walk off like a stranger, maybe complain to Silver later, and in any event act colder.
I’m just frustrated when character interactions and relationships are ruined by a small shit and a lack of communication. I’m getting blue balled too.
I’m just bitching, but yes, she would return to being a combat focused NPC

Possible solution: force them unwillingly into a quest together than have an event where they're separated from the rest of the party, possibly trapped.
You're basically God in this game. You can create any situation you want for the heroes and NPCs. I can understand your frustration of course, but if it's on Iron then he has to learn from it.

He never learns, damn it! He just thinks that if he offends another person, it must be because he is right and superior, and the offended person is bad and inferior
We can proceed like normal. It’s just a shame, that’s all

Again, I'm not sure I'd call what happened miscommunication. Maybe it was on your end, but to everyone else it came off as overly harsh and callous, especially after his pretty terrible responses to Sands' previous questions.

Harsh? He asked something very simple which needed no further explanation. A relationship is based on trust, after all.

It's the way it was worded. "Don't betray mine" sounds far more adversarial than, say "I'll put my trust in you".

This is why it's better to solve it IC because it's clear that there are differences in interpretation OOC and this will cause drama. I never thought that Argentinians in particular were so direct maybe you're of German culture, but when you're with a lady you have to constantly keep up her trust or she'll lose it. Also, any sort of heart-to-heart talking requires a lot of tact; you need to request things in a positive tone. Treat her like a bird in your hands.

He does know she's upset over something, however, and that the something is related to Iron or what Iron likely said. Even IC, that is obvious.
Besides, it's not like it's stopped us before. Now, make up with your cute bug waifu.

Iron was following Sands, but the GM didn't factor it in his responses, likely because he feels frustrated over this.

Iron's eyes widen in surprise followed by fervent nodding.
"I do trust you, Sands, but there is something that has been bugging me after you went for a private talk with Silver."
He looks at her, ears drooped and a doubtful expression.
"There is a big secret you are not telling me."

He pauses for a bit.
"And why do you need immunity against law enforcement? You were a slave worker here, right?"

“So maybe I didn’t work in elderly care... I was just telling that to the kid because he thought he recognized me... working as a waiter for snooty ponies doesn’t pay big, and certainly not enough to pay rent”

Iron is still not satisfied with the response given, but gives her a small grin at her since she is telling the truth.
"So what did you do before then?"

Iron hums a bit before pulling her chin up gently with a hoof, ears drooped and brow lowered and staring at her gently.
"Is that everything? I dislike having secrets with the ones I love."
He blinks once.
"It is what breaks my trust the most."

Iron can't help but feel even more worried, ears drooping back again.
"It is important to share these kinds of things, Sands. We cannot cover things up between eachother."

“Okay okay okay okay... fine. They would have us locked together. Sometimes in a workshop, sometimes... down there. They would give food, or more favorable treatment to prisoners who would tell when others were not working hard, or were planning escape or what have you, as well as who knew the patterns of Customs, which I did”
