"You're welcome" She says, smiling happily. She picks up her plate, and there's a little back and forth over doing the dishes. Normally it seems that Mustard would do the dishes, or at least it is his turn, but with Amber there Dahlia suggests Veneer does it. Veneer does not want to do it (probably because she wants to leave), and there's a sort of conclusion the dishes can be done later.

"No no no, I can clean up," Amber asserts. "I was treated to such a terrific meal, it's only fair that I do the dishes."

She picks up her plate with her mouth and carries it to the kitchen.

Nothing makes her happier to have Mustard work beside her. "It's much faster with two, ain't it?" she says with a wide smile.

"Yeah, it is" He says running a plate under the water, and scrubbing it.

"It doesn't really take that long though, usually. It's just the three of us. And she gets Veneer to do it sometimes."

Amber wears a slightly nervous smile and rubs her hoof against the carpet. "After you, uh, told me about fun places around where I live I was hoping, maybe…maybe you could show me around them sometime? I want to pick up on city ways and not be so much of a bumpkin. If the location isn't too far away for you, I mean."

The filly stays quiet, unsure of what to say. Was Veneer upset because of how Mustard's fillyfriend hurt him, or because the incident was a nuisance to her?

"Mustard is stuck with her. You can leave. She has to be nice to you, or else you'll go away." She pauses, but gives a sly smile

"She wants Mustard to have a fillyfriend. He hasn't taken the move, or the loss of his father and brother very well. And we thought he'd never get a filly friend. So when you come along, all adorable, a sweet and innocent little farm pony from the country, she's not going to scare you away. Or at least she'll try not to."

She moves forward, and to the side of Amber, then partly around her. She stands between Amber and the first floor now, with her tail tied into a… well, s pony tail.

If Amber wanted anything less than absolute rock-solid surety to bring back to Mustard, she would have backed down by now. But there is no backing down, at least not yet. "It sure is, and I've hardly seen anything there is out there."
