Ershey stopped mid-chew, feeling her nervousness suddenly rush back in. Trying to swallow and think of something to say, Ershey couldn't help but look away from Mush, a little ashamed.
"I, er... like to dance," she finally said after a couple moments. "It calms me, I guess."

"Oh really? I'm an awful dancer." ((Oh, Mush, we know that's not true))
He finished the rest of his first hot dog, then got out a second one.

"Mmm," replied Ershey, turning quiet. She had just finished her hot dog and was no where near surprised that Mush had pulled out another one. Oh, that boy.
However, Ershey was growing anxious. She couldn't really relax after handing off her payment with Ericson. She became jumpy and unsure of herself, which she hated. It always lingered after a payment and she couldn't shake it off, not even with Mush around.

Now, Mush noticed Ershey was being quieter than usual (he was pretty sure he had an idea of what 'usual' was with her).
"Hey, is... Is everything all right?" He asked, his voice soft and filled with concern.

Ershey jumped slightly, realizing that she was staring off into the distance. Great, I'm totally messing up this date...
"Er, uh... sorry, I got distracted," she said shyl, attempting to sound normal. "Y-yeah, everythin's fine..."

Mush looked up at the sky, figuring that was what has distracted Ershey.
"Yeah, the stars are pretty tonight, aren't they?" Man, if any of the guys heard him say that, he'd get another pummeling.

Ershey nodded, giving him a small smile. "Um, sorry... I'm not being too much fun tonight, am I?" she muttered, hating herself for worrying about Ericson. I'm with Mush on this wonderful date and I'm just being a killjoy...

Mush looked over at her, his brows furrowed.
"Whaddya mean?" He asked, genuinely confused. "You sure yer all right?"

Ershey bit her lip, unable to look Mush directly. "I'm just... worryin' too much, I'm sorry -- I'm killin' the mood, um..."

Mush turned more toward Ershey, moved to hold one of her hands, then chickened out.
"Worryin'? About what? If you don't mind me askin', of course."

Ershey wanted so much to tell him everything, to have him make her feel better and have everything be okay. But she knew it wasn't that easy and it would just invite more unnecessary drama than needed. No, she won't tell him. At least not now.
"I just... almost got caught by the bulls earlier," fibbed Ershey, hoping her lie would pull through. "I stole somethin' and... they almost had me. That's all. No big deal, I just worry a lot... sorry..."
She looked at him, wondering if it worked. She was over worrying about Ericson. She wasn't about to let him mess up her date with Mush.

Mush had no reason not to believe her, so he did.
"Yeah, that happens to me a lot. Those bulls are so slow, they'll never catch you. And if they do, well..." He looked around, as if he were searching for an answer. "I'll come visit ya in the refuge!"

Ershey chuckled, finally breaking into a smile. He was just so adorable and she couldn't help feeling happy when she was with him.
"Just visit me?" she teased, smirking. "You won't even break me out of that place?"

"Nah. If yer slow enough to get caught by the bulls, you deserve to spend a little time in there." He said, laughing as he looked over at her.
She looked so pretty in the moonlight, it almost hurt to look at her.

"Hey!" yelled Ershey, laughing as she pinched his arm. "See if I visit you if you end up in there!"
Ershey was glad to be comfortable around him. It was hard for her to open up, let alone, trust someone else. Granted, she wasn't spilling out her life story to Mush but she felt safe and secure, which was a rarity with Ershey.
