Action noticed Soul had a concerned look on her face and she tapped his cheeks with both of his hooves as he reconstructed his "game face." Oh man, this is terrible, I should let her know now about how I get sometimes...but first things first, hug her...that should make her feel better. Action walked over to her and gave Soul a soft embrace. He kissed her on the forehead and smiled at her as he still gave a baffling, yet concerned expression on her face.
"You're right...it could stain. I again apologize for that outburst. I, um," Action blushed as he said this, "I was worried that you might think I was going to take advantage of you...I'm just nervous about well, 'getting to second base' because I have no experience with girls...the kisses even, I kind of had to wing that despite my days as a theatre actor. I also know you enjoy it when I'm 'assertive' about our romance, but as you've probably noticed, I got this tick."
Action quickly went back to the kitchen and grabbed a sponge from the sink. He trotted back over and continued his explanation as he knelt down and began to soak the cider up in the sponge:
"Simply put, a couple years ago, I developed this excitable habit thanks to an embarrassing delivery on the "To Be or Not to Be" speech when I suddenly belched from my diaphragm something of a mule's cry and everypony laughed. Critics crowned me 'Manehattan's Mule' and everywhere I went, I was made fun of. I became so paranoid about my acting that I tried to put more flare into my performances in hopes that I would dazzle the audience...but my acting became overacting and nopony could take me nor the theatre company seriously anymore. I was ultimately responsible for the shut down of one of the most respected companies in Equestria."
Action looked back up at Soul and he gave a sort of discouraged look. The sponge was saturated at this point at the stain was mostly gone. He went back to the sink, wrung out the sponge and went back to the stain. He began to blotch the remainder of the stain, getting it to dry. He inhaled and looked back up at her once more.
"So, I blamed it on myself and I tried to utilize this passion thing as a coping mechanism, vowing myself that would never fail again...but its become quite the doozy..." Action finished cleaning up and set the sponge on the coffee table right-side-up so that the contents would leak and he approached Soul and kissed her on the lips once more.
"...I love you and I want this dumb habit to go away. I just hope that I didn't scare you off because I told you my life's story...nothing matters more to me than you."

Soul, still breathless after that moment of passion, just moves her head up and kisses Action on the cheek. "Oh love, there is no need, you haven't told me so much about yourself, and I had no idea you felt that way about your tick, I thought it was cute. If it helps you feel better, I never have met such a gentlecolt, many males would just try to get my attention, and not care for me. You, you are different, and I like it." She gets up to stretch her wings, them being cramped by laying on them. "So, would you like to go for a walk, if they have a park around here?"

"You really think my passion is 'cute?' Aw, you're the best! I do care for you and I'm grateful that I am with a girl like you." Action smiled warmly as he received the kiss on the cheek. He blushed momentarily before noticing Soul had gotten up from the couch, spreading her wings.
"A walk? Y'know what? That sounds great! Let's go to Central Park!" Action trotted over to the closest and grabbed his gray peacoat and scarf. He pushed his hooves through the sleeves and fastened the buttons. After securing the scarf over his neck, he went over to Soul and offered a hoof.
"Shall we go, my sweet Serenade?" Action's tone was inviting and deep, trying to make it sound mockingly formal.
