He smiles,
“Silver Heel”
He has to wait a while, but High Sewn comes back with the vest. He puts it on. It actually does look impressive on him. He needs the fedora, but it makes a difference over his light brown fur and darker brown mane.

Indeed. Guy is demonstrating just a bit of coldness again, and High Sewn has been doing her own thing. Mostly the afternoon is uneventful. Things happen, to be sure, but nothing so dramatic as the Friday before.

Amber patiently waits until the end of her shift, taking care of anything that needs to get done in the meantime.

She asks High Sewn, "Ma'am, when can I receive my pay?" with a concerned face and tone of voice. After all, this influences whether she has to survive off scraps.

"I'd prefer this week…" she grumbles. "See you tomorrow," the filly says as she starts to walk off.

Before Amber starts, she takes the time to write out the rest of her letter.
At the restaurant I work at I've met a very nice colt named Mustard Trim, who is my age and of a similar coloration, though his mane and coat are darker and he has blue eyes. He works very hard as a waiter there at the same times I work as hostess, not to mention he's studying in school to become a carpenter. Mustard has been sweet and honest, and this Sunday I went to church with his family and stayed for lunch and dinner. He has a big sister named Veneer, who is only one year older than him, and his mother Dahlia Day works in assembling typewriters to support the both of them. Mustard lost his brother and father in the war and I feel terribly sorry for this family. Mrs. Dahlia is pushing her son to start a family, and I've entertained the thought of marrying Mustard though it's so sudden. Would I be too hasty? What are some things I should look for or ask about before agreeing to it?
Amber considers tying in her experiences at the Club Maurice, the pool or the cliffs with Mustard. However, she's unsure how her parents would react to simply finding out she has a coltfriend already, let alone any of the more intimate things she has done with him since. Also, it would mess up the pacing and she's running out of room on this sheet of paper.
I am already settled in comfortably and am learning to adapt to Baltimare's strangeness. Don't worry about me, I am keeping myself safe. How are you doing? How is Myrtle, (her sister) her house and foal? How is Grange (her brother) doing? Already it seems like city life is moving so fast compared to farm life back home, but please keep me updated. I love you and I'm keeping you in my prayers!
Love,
Amber
P.S. it's not much, but here's some of the first bits I've earned. I promise to send more appreciable amounts soon.
She folds the letter around a ten-bit bill and places it in an envelope, sealing it shut. She addresses it to Heath Recusal and Amber Note, writes down her old address and puts a stamp on it. She'll deliver it later.

D'awwwww!
A. Cute.
Amber has the letter in hoof. As she finishes writing it, a familiar pony walks up next to her.
"Hello Amber."
It's Mustard Trim

Still holding the pen in her mouth, she throws her forelegs around him in a tender hug.
"Hmlo, Mmstrd!" She grabs the pen out of her mouth. "How was your day today?"

If it was Amber's intent to avoid a public display of affection, she fails. Mustard Trim immediately moves his own hooves around her in a somewhat tight hug, and the two are quickly standing on their hindlegs, supported by each other.
"It was okay. I had a Physics quiz in the morning. It's much better now that I see you" he says

She pulls away and stands on four legs again. "Well…" she says awkwardly, "I was there all day, and I loved staying with your family, but I really did have to get things done for the evening. Also, you looked like you wanted to be left alone then…."

“Well, she. By she I mean the Inquisitor, Solo Mare Cane. She went to the village where the Magistrate said he thought there was a witch cult. And they’d take visitors to the village and kill them. So she investigated. But if turns out the magistrate had evil plans of his own. You should have listened to it with us. I thought you would stay for it….”

He looks up at her with sad eyes, and drooping ears
"I was hoping for more time with you today" he says

She smiles reassuringly at him.
"It's okay, we'll be able to see each together this whole evening. And maybe after work…," she winks.

She nuzzles him back. "Talk to you later."
What is the hostess station like again? It's by the entrance, what's the lighting and space like?

And he is dismissed.
Podium. By the entrance, with a little open space off to the left and right. A small amount behind, though there are tables. Lighting includes some natural sunlight from outside, and yellow indoor light. It isn’t perfectly illuminated, snd is a bit dim at night.

That's fine, she takes her station with a smile, though her stomach grumbles, and waits for customers.

Monday nights aren’t especially busy. The restaurant is again manned, er, ponied by Saltlick at the bar, Melon Mangrove in her familiar section upfront, De Sew in her section in the back, and Mustard Trim awkwardly taking the tables of the big parties and the high tops in the back. There’s a statement by Salt Mixer that single stallions go to Melon Mangrove (when they don’t head to the bar), big parties go to Mustard Trim, those with children go to Mustard Trim, couples without children go to De Sew, and generally to grant requests for a specific waiter, which is almost always De Sew. More or less it’s the same situation as Amber’s first night.
Amber is taunted by the smell of fresh bread, of spicy goulash, baked sandwiches, and boiled fries. The whole night.

She keeps these instructions in mind and repeats them to herself. The temptation of delicious food spoils her mood somewhat, but she stays cordial to the customers and directs them to their specific places, a bit more adeptly than last week. Less business definitely helps.

A pair of single stallions who ask for De Sew.
A single, older stallion who does not go to the bar.
A young mare and stallion with one, two, three foals.
A slightly older Diamond Dog... female, you know the technical term, with four pups.
One elderly couple.
One middle aged mare, and an adolescent colt

The stallions go to De Sew.
The older stallion goes to Melon.
The family to Mustard.
The bitch to Mustard as well, with a wince once they're past.
The elderly couple go to De Sew.
The mare and her colt…well, he's old enough…but best to go to Mustard too.

3 Mustard 2 De Sew 1 Melon Mangrove...
Amber should remember that hostesses who under assign are hated for the lack of tipping customers, and those who over assign are hated for the excess of work. She will absolutely be judged. Mustard Trim has been forgiving because he's also new and low on the totem pole, she's friendly to him, they have similar backgrounds and age, and most likely he hoped to get under her tail. De Sew and Melon Mangrove, however, are a bit closer to Salt Mixer. Especially De Sew.
A few more tips Salt Mixer gives Amber:
Waterfront gang is generally understood to have its own restaurants they frequent. They don't show up here very often, and if they do, you don't necessarily know because they don't tell. But if you suspect you are dealing with them, be extra nice and courteous. More senior wait staff (De Sew is most senior) is preferred for these.
Baltimare Police Department Officers are a favored class who receive discounts. They come in single and in groups throughout the day, including and especially in non-busy hours. They are favored because they scare off potential rapscallions. They also come with families at night. They are both male and female, tending male.
Occupation Soldiers are very strongly liked by Salt Mixer, though De Sew and the other staff dislike them. They are almost always male, and they come usually in pairs or groups, sometimes with mares, usually without. They money and love spending it at the bar. Do not attempt to segregate them from single mares, they will notice and they will not like it. They usually go to the bar, but if they don't, let them have their backs to the wall and face entrances. Some patrons, especially older patrons, dislike occupation soldiers and should be segregated as you notice it.
In comes a charming stallion in a coat and fedora with a mare around him.
A single elderly mare.
A mare and two foals.
A colt, a stallion, and a zebra stallion (all within 4 years of each other in age)

So many things for her to worry about…
The charming couple goes to De Sew.
The old mare to Melon.
The family to Mustard.
She asks the trio if they're all together, and if they'd like to go to the bar.
