[At some point during some time, Sky-Byte manages to catch Minimus as the other mech is walking down the hallway. Sky-Byte gives him a sharp grin and a theatrical bow.]

Greetings, Minimus Ambus! I have been searching for you! I wish to give you the honour of accompanying me to the upcoming Ball.

Do say yes, I am sure we will be the most stunning pair on the dance floor.

[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?

[theatreshark]

What other reason do I need other than to get to know you better?

[Sky-Byte lets out an indignant huff.]

Oh please! I may have started out as a gladiator, but I know the ins and out of high society just as well as anyone. Sophistication and elegance is my game, dear Minimus.

[But on the battlefield, Sky-Byte likes the simple act of violence and maiming.]

[The answer doesn't appear to be satisfactory, judging by Minimus's twitch of his mustache. There is an internal questionnaire being filled out, ranking the qualities and concerns for this potential partner. Could it be that Sky-Byte is merely desperate?]

If you wish to have my confirmation to your offer, I expect that you provide a thought-out argument why you over the others. [He tilts his head a bit back to get that "looking down at you judgmentally" face.] I cannot give an answer without enough information.
