He looks down at his empty glass.
“She didn’t get more more tea. I should have asked her for more tea.”

She slouches down and rests her head on the table, trying to discern what he really thinks.
"You still don't believe I'm a bad pony, do you? I wouldn't do anything to make you feel betrayed or hurt."

"…And I got connected with unsavory ponies who got me to do something for them, so I seem like a scoundrel because of that." She continues, "But it wasn't anything major, I don't plan to go back to them, and I certainly didn't touch anypony. I hope I didn't taint your view of me forever because of it."

Looking at him quizzically, but oddly enough not embarrassed, she answers, "I am, I think…except I got kissed out of nowhere last night. I didn't ask for it at all, but it was that or gettin' in serious trouble." She makes a disgusted expression.

Alright, +0 modifier here we go!
Sense motive [1d20+0 = 14] (for the last answer). Roll bluff if necessary

Though some amount of doubt can always exist, and obviously many details about that mysterious night are being left out, it doesn't seem likely she's lying or would be able to lie that convincingly.
"Well it was a romantic kind of kiss–but there were no romantic feelings at all!–and you ain't supposed to have that sort of kiss unless you intend to marry. So that might mean I ain't a virgin, I'm not sure how exactly it's counted."

He looks at her wordlessly, and eventually gives an awkward smile.
He looks down at the chowder, picks up a spoon, and places if in the chowder. His smile stops
“That would have bothered me all night. For as long as I knew you.”

She doesn't quite know how to respond. "Oh…I guess I hadn't thought about it that much." She stares at her own bowl of slimy soup. "Um, are you one too? A virgin. Maybe the word doesn't apply to colts…" she trails off, unsure if she's probing too much. No, if he asks me a question I can ask the same in turn, she reasons and reassures herself.

She becomes more relaxed. "I miss a warmer home, and here there are lots of strange creatures that put me on edge. But I'm able to go to many places I only read about in books, whenever and wherever I want. It's not easy looking after myself, but if life was easy it wouldn't be the same, would it?"

Did Amber just answer "it's alright" to "how does it feel to date a colt?"
"No... no it's not." He pauses for a moment
"I don't really think my mom is going to like me being out late, or spending money. But what is she going to do?" Another pause
"I am free"

"Like in the stories. A colt becomes rich and too big for his britches, dates mares who spend too much money, and goes broke, but he learns humility and becomes a better pony. And I imagine your ma is concerned about safety at night, but it's safer to be together in the dark."

His ears go down, and he pulls his lips back in a very toothy smile. His eyes are wide open, and he makes eye contact for several seconds. He does not say anything, breaks eye contact, and quickly takes one, then two more spoonful's of the soup.

Amber has allowed it to cool a bit. The chowder has a relatively large amount of cream, and fairly large potato chunks.
Yes, there are crackers, albeit only a few.
The waitress returns, and there is a brief interaction where Mustard Trim asks for more tea.

Did they both order tea, or was it tea for Mustard, hot chocolate for Amber? I thought both got hot coco, but if both have tea in addition then Amber will ask for more too.
"This 'chowder' is pretty good," she says in between bites. "I wasn't sure what to expect, but it's good and hearty, though very different from the soups I had back home."

So maybe I'm mistaken, but it's been my understanding this entire time that Mustard orderedsweat sweet tea, and Amber ordered Hot Chocolate
"Thi- ith not bahd" Mustard Trim does not wait to swallow before replying.
But then he swallows, and asks
"What did you have back home?"

You're probably right. It's a minor detail not worth jotting a note down or searching back for
"We had more basic vegetable soups like carrot & parsnip soup, which was certainly delicious, but we had no seafood and needed to be sparing with milk, so something like this clam chowder just wasn't possible." She takes another spoonful and relishes the taste and texture of what must be a delicacy to her.

He uses a spoon to cut the potato. For Amber, the soup is a bit more on the liquid side. The potatoes are soft, however.
"We had carrot. Onion too. I guess we had a little more cheese and cream. Store bought."

"Farming's tough. You've got to work your keister off for months to make sure you don't starve the next year. Then it's only a couple of things that can be grown–in our case wheat–so we need to take it to market and trade for other goods we need. And that's if nothing bad happens, like blight or hail or just a bad harvest," she says solemnly.

She shrugs and is looking back at her soup. "It ain't many miles away compared to someplace like Whinnyapolis, but the closest train station was far enough that we'd go there only on special trips. And it ain't exactly a proper town either, more of a hamlet or just a cluster of farms."

What Amber is wearing is a wool dress, colored midnight blue with tiny, light blue stars scattered about and frills on the shoulders, neckline and skirt. The sleeve comes down to her knee while the hem of the dress reaches her fetlocks. It's a good couple of decades out of date and looks anachronistic on such a young mare. "Gee, thanks. It's originally my ma's dress and she gave it to me to wear here. I prefer my summer dress but it ain't summer." She smiles playfully.
"You know during the day I work at a clothing store? It's Miss High Sewn's shoppe, west of Union Station. It ain't much, but we get a load of interesting customers coming in. The other day there was this really big ol' unicorn with a fluffy coat of hair, looked like he had been through a lot. He bought a skimpy red dress and weird expensive underwear, but not for a pony he knew–for a griffon! He was swinging around old bits like they were nuthin', buying a real fur coat too." She giggles, blushing slightly. "Said he was some sort of adventurer and invited me to come join him sometime if I didn't mind danger."

He looks up to her, and tilts his head before mouthing a word, it looks like "what?" He looks down the bill, and she moves off. He takes a moment to do math, and places several paper notes and a few coins on the table.

Amber's happy mood is spoiled by the entrance of the blonde pink mare. Something roils within her as she sees this intruder subtly flirt with her date. Something about this contender, perhaps her more lithe form, or her greater emphasis on grooming as displayed by her braids, makes her concerned yet thankful that Mustard hasn't shown any interest. Nonetheless, doubts have already been sown. Perhaps I should do my mane differently to look less plain? she thinks to herself. Or I could make it up in a different ability.…
She makes sure she leaves nothing behind before getting out of the booth and walking with Mustard to the door of the little diner. It doesn't occur to her to wait for him to open it for her, instead taking the initiative and exiting into the chilly dark night.

Mustard attempts the race to the door, but fails. As they leave, the pink mare rushes up to the couple with an "Oh!" She approaches Mustard - whether that was her intent, or merely a happenstance because Amber was further ahead, and asks him "Would you like me to call a taxi?"
Mustard turns back, and stands in silent contemplation for a few seconds. Perhaps these are the decisive few seconds that place him behind Amber.
"Uh, not now. But thank you" He says, and walks out the door.
He rejoins Amber, cantering up to her, trying to regain the lead.
"She seemed really nice" He says

He looks right at Amber, and is silent for a few seconds. The he moves a foreleg up and goes "pfft!" with a waving motion.
"She's just being friendly" He starts to walk along the road.
"It's not like she was trying to make out with me or anything"
He looks down, and his ears go down

"I went and saw you last night at club Maurice after our shift. You left, and so I left and went home. It happened then, didn't it? With that stallion."

Despite the soup and hot chocolate, her mouth suddenly feels a bit dry. "Um, yes…it wasn't anywhere near the club, but somewhere else. That stallion was helping me get the paper, but I had to pretend to be his marefriend." She scrunches her snout remembering that encounter.

Should have gotten another drink, like a sweat tea, Amber
But you can't really undo the past
"What" He turns to her
"Is that what that was about? He wanted a girlfriend for the night or something? Like to show his parents?"

"Something like that. His colleagues, actually. I suppose it was smart, 'cuz I would have been looked at funny otherwise, but it was still gross."

"I can't say it doesn't hurt"
Mustard Trim wears his jacket with the collar high on his neck. There is a fairly strong wind blowing in from the sea, and while wind is warmer than the still, inland air, the wind chill makes the night cold.
The sun has set completely, and Amber can see out into the ocean and the night sky. Clouds move along the horizon, but the gibbous moon gives a dim light along the grassy asphalt road and the grey and black rock cliffs. There are more stars in the night sky than can be seen in Baltimare with its street lights, automobile headlights, and chemical plant flares. Almost as many as can be seen back home. A couple lights of what must be ships can be seen moving in the distance.
"I don't want to go back" Mustard says. "I would rather walk along the road. Along these cliffs for a while."
A cloud moves in front of the moon and dims the light for a minute.

"I'm sorry…" she says slowly.
Although her dress and winter fur serve to warm her, she leans up against him as they walk along, her woolen skirt rubbing against his bare flank. They are side by side, though she is slightly shorter than him, and she takes in the sights, sounds and smells of the tranquil cliffside.
"Me too…it's about as good as the sunset was, and I can't imagine anypony I'd rather be with here."

He moves to press against her in kind, and rubs his jacket against her shoulders. The cloud moves, and the area is illuminated by the moonlight once again. He moves a little further away from the roadway, and up the hillside to walk along the grass towards brush and trees, looking over the cliffs and the sea. The air smells of saltwater, a refreshing change from the diesel fumes, chemical plant smells, and coal soot of Baltimare.
He leans his head in, and tries to rub it against the top of her head

Amber imbibes the cool, refreshing air, breathing in with her nose and exhaling audibly with her mouth. Meanwhile, she lowers her head to comfortably let his chin rest on top, with the ends of her auburn hairs dragging through the grass.
"Where are we headed?" she asks. There's no concern in her voice–this is practically paradise and her spirits are uplifted, almost giddily, by being so close to her special somepony.

He attempts to rub the bottom of his chin and neck against her mane and ears, though this is nigh impossible while still walking. He settles for a few cheek rubs.
"Headed? We're not headed anywhere at all."

Smirking back, she answers, "I'm up for it."
"Wait," she quickly adds, fiddling with the buttons on her dress. "Don't want to get this dirty." Though it takes an annoyingly long time with hooves and in partial darkness, she finally doffs it and puts it in a reasonably dry place, perhaps a tree branch. Mustard can get a better view of her tail and of her stocky frame, accentuated by slightly longer fur length. "Now you're on!" she yells excitedly.
