"Hmm...let me ask him why."
Silver steps into the room, knocking a hoof against the door to announce his presense.

Mala turns his head to the door, raising it, and pointing his triangular ears and brown eyes to the door. Mint Marine follows in a slower movement, his muzzle following the turning of his eyes with a slight delay.

I was a little colt. Rather small. I think I was around nine or so. Neighbors had just moved in next door. Well, down the road. This was in the woods, so the house was a little further away, but anyways, it was the closest house. And it was brand new. They just built it. And, well, they were still building it. My dad was helping them to finish it. And a part of that was cutting the millwork. Wainscot and moldings. And I was conscripted into helping. You see the size of the panels and the moldings wouldn't be exactly what they needed to be, so you'd have to cut them to make them smaller. So I was there to help holding them. And measure them. And then I was allowed to help cut it. Not that they really wanted me to use a saw, but they couldn't really stop me. And so I cut a piece. And another. And I helped glue them in. And when the final piece of molding was placed in their new living room, I got my cutie mark."

Amber grins at her friend. "It feels good to make something with your own hooves, doesn't it? I bet it's much better than being a waiter. Your folks must've been proud of you that day."

"They were. My dad was proud. My older brother, I think he was jealous. My mom was kind of upset I was using the saw."

"I..." His ears go down. "That colt has been trying to use and take my toys and stuff and he complains that I have it and he doesn't. So I told the gnoll, and he scared the colt off."

Her smirk only grows more pronounced. "You know, Ms. Lick. When will you two be going on a date? She's a bit older, but that shouldn't stop her, 'specially considering you've got talent and personality on your side."

“Oh” he makes a motion tilting his head, and a smile. “Saltlick. I think she’s looking for stallions who are out of school. And I’m not really looking to date her.”

"Awww," she says, with a clearly fake frown. "You'd be such a good match. Well, you never know, she might take a liking to you."

He blushes, turns away, and raises his left hoof and brings it down in a batting action. “Heh heh. She’s cute and all. But, well… there’s cuter out there.”

She shrugs, "Maybe...but it doesn't hurt to have a little practice before meeting somepony that's cuter." To herself, I wonder what my folks would think of me saying that...well, I ain't wrong.

She rubs her neck a bit awkwardly, "I mean, you don't want to mess up or say the wrong thing, so why not try first with Saltlick? That way, you know if you're sayin' the right thing or need to change anything up if you meet another mare you like."

“Why do you ask?”
Using a hoof, he scoots himself closer to Amber, and moves his head closer to hers
“Did she say something?”

She blinks. "Er, not really...but I have noticed her looking at you while you're working so hard. I ain't sure what she thinks 'bout fraternizing with coworkers, but I'd imagine that between your dedication and your looks you'd be at the top of the list."

He takes a moment, and turns his head to look directly into Amber's eyes. He scoots a little further back and places himself once again in the middle of his chair. He places each hoof down to his sides, as if to brace himself.
"What I want to know is if..." he looks away, and then back to her. "You'd be interested." He stops and briefly sticks his tongue out, as if to wet dry lips.
"In me. For, for real, I mean." He looks into her eyes, breaks eye contact, and then looks back.

Her heart had an inkling of it ever since last night, but it still catches her by surprise. Her mouth ajar, a reddish tinge spreads over her cheeks under her widened indigo eyes.
"I, I uh, I mean–" she babbles, before breathing in and out. "Yes, I would be…actually, I already was." Her mouth forms into a shy smile. "You're a really cute colt and when you showed up at the nightclub for me, I was touched you'd check on me when you barely knew who I was. Oh, uh, I was just teasin' ya about Saltlick. Though she's a nice mare, I wouldn't be surprised if you really did like like her."

He smiles very widely, and he uses his hooves to push himself up in his seat to sitting upright. His tail moves underneath him.
"I like you."
He says, sharply and quickly.
"You're really sweet. And cute. And adorable>"

Amber reciprocates his position, letting her towel fall to cover only her lower body. Her coat is still damp but has mostly dried off, with tufts sticking together.
She looks forward bashfully. "T-thanks, y-you too…." She stays silent for just a moment. "Shucks, colts don't like being called adorable. You're uh…brave instead, is that alright?" She turns back to grin at him.

Mustard Trim remains entirely uncovered, still looking pretty damp. He now sits upright in his seat.
“Heh heh, thanks… I don’t think I’ve really been called that much before….”
He looks away, and then back to her
“So um… do you… want a formal date?”
He moves his right hoof up towards the back of his head, and begins to show teeth in his smile

"Sure. To tell you the truth, I ain't ever been on a date before. I wouldn't mind going on one with a feller like yourself." She continues to smile softly at him.

He looks up, and about.
“Uh… I’ll think of something.” He says
“You, um, like exploring?”
His tail is visibly moving back and forth, and his lips, sometimes closed, and sometimes exposing teeth, remain firmly pulled back.

His anticipation seems to rub off on her, as she likewise shakes her auburn tail and looks intently at him. "You bet your rump I do."

“Heh heh heh. I can, I can take you to a fancy restaraunt if you want but um, um, I think my mother might get mad if I spend all of my money on that and not buying the groceries. We can go to the movies, or to the theater if you like that. Or we can go somewhere else. Maybe to the cliffs, or someplace if you want to explore more literally.”

"Best not to spend all our parents' money. We can do that after one of us becomes rich. Something cheap and exciting sounds fine to me, and if you're looking for adventure then count me in," she says with a grin.

He audibly sighs looking relieved. Then he moves his head closer, examining her reaction skeptically. Then he seems surprised.
“Well…. There’s the cliffs. The old fort out by the water. The shot tower. Uh…”

“Oh really? The one at Locust Promintory, or the one at the harbor mouth? The shot tower is this old, really tall building. It was used to make lead for guns, or something. Anyways, that’s by the river.”

He starts to walk towards the showers on the other side.

He turns the the lever-valve on the shower and lets the water flow over him. The process undoes many minutes of drying off, much to his evident dismay. He finishes, and attempts to dry himself with a towel.

Amber does the same, trying to run water through her mane and tail to get the chlorine out. When she's satisfied, she turns off the shower and shakes her body before grabbing a towel.

Her winter coat adds a bit of fluff, though not as much as with certain ponies. She grins and also looks Mustard over before turning to grab her clothes.
