[The question does not come as a surprise. Minimus has now accepted that he will be a common target for dating attempts now that he is no longer tied to Megatron. He gives Sky-Byte a polite nod as he holds a datapad tightly in his arm.]

Is there any particular reason why you wish to attend with me? [Because...this guy's poetry is terrible and if someone else is going to propose a date, Minimus needs to compare their qualifications.] There are many mechs with whom I can attend the ball. Are you familiar with the customs of an upper-class gathering?
