This... is... Not Theatromania!

"I see. It's been a while since I last saw it which was a couple years ago with my extended family. This happens to be my second time watching it."

As Morpho spoke to Count Vlad, Model Sp chatted with Model I.

"I haven't seen The Barber of Seville in so long since...."

.... Since years before her death, apparently. Model Sp would blink curiously if she could. But she stayed quiet for a moment when Vlad asked Morpho, wondering if he may have heard them.

"Ah, I was just saying hi to the girl on the other side."

He probably didn't hear them after all. Model Sp spoke up again.

"Why, yes. I myself haven't met female Biometals until now. Likely, we are very rare."

Well, at least Aira acknowledged Morpho. Meanwhile in the opera, after a moment of Count Almaviva brooding alone, Figaro approaches him singing an aria titled Largo al factotum.

[Vlad the Vampiroid]

"Ah yes, it is indeed a very beautiful Opera to enjoy. A classic that's centuries old," Vlad replied to him.

He turned his head and noticed Aira a seat away from him. "Ah yes. A very lovely girl. Would you care to sit next to her?"

Young love. What a beautiful experience, much like this opera. Vlad remembers his many experiences with such great fondness. A shame, that a monster like him would never experience such a thing.

Of course, Vlad was only assuming Morpho was saying hi to the girl because he though she was cute, and was totally giving the child a chance to interact with her more. Whatever sprang from that though, love or simply just friendship, would be an unforgettable experience. One of life's fleeting moments, as Vlad would describe it, and should be embraced and enjoyed the moment it happens.

[Aira & Model I]

Aira managed to hide a smile on her face. She is aware that she is being kind of mean because the other man seems completely unaware of the conversation of the biometals and that thought made her giggle.

"So it is. I must say, I was kind of surprised. It was unexpected to meet you in such a random way."

She says this almost in an apologetic way. Reason being that she prefers to keep her distance of other biometals unless it is unavoidable. She is not shy, she is very sociable. But she fears of having Aira, whom she had formed a link of friendship with, getting in trouble with other Mega Men for being rather weak at fighting.

Morpho nodded in agreement to Count Vlad. These classic operas are masterpieces. When Count Vlad asked if he'd like to sit next to Aira, he blinked with a tiny light blush.

"Ah, I-I don't necessarily have to. I've just met her. Not formally, though. And you don't really have to switch seats with me so I can speak with girls. But thank you for the offer anyway, sir."

Though a girlfriend doesn't sound bad and he has to admit she does look pretty, Morpho and Aira aren't even friends yet. They barely got to talk. But how should he tell this to Count Vlad politely? Shouldn't he just sit here since they already picked their seats and all? Though this is a good chance to interact with Aira more. But Morpho can't be selfish.

Well, at least Model Sp has a fellow Biometal to speak with. It's kind of boring and awkward to have only her Biomatch to talk with; and with all these people around, it can get risky and awkward when he looks like he's talking to himself 'cause sadly, he can't use telepathy. While it's risky to get close to other Biometals and Biomatches without knowing their true intentions, it would be good to gain potential allies. Who knows? Model Sp could become friends with Model I and Morpho can befriend Aira (not for personal gains, of course).

"Indeed. In a theater of all places. Well, it's better than meeting in a dangerous place. This is quite pleasant."

[Vlad the Vampiroid]

"Nonsense, I insist. It is no trouble at all," Vlad said as he slowly got up from his chair and walked around Morpho. He patted him on the shoulder as he passed him, leaned down and whispered in his ear. "Enjoy each and every day of your youth. You won't get many chances like this when you reach my age."

One would normally think that kind of comment would be a warning from a Pseuderoid. But in his current appearance of an older gentleman, one might think it was possibly nothing more than useful advice.

[Aira & Model I]

Aira couldn't resist to giggle at the scene. Still that just demonstrates that no matter how people look, they can be actually very nice, such as Vlad who despite his looks seems to be quite the nobleman.

"Yeah, you have to call that coincidence really. Meeting in such an odd chance feels like fate or something..."

At least they didn't met in battle and suddenly bringing up a duel or something. Aira does not have much battle experience and Model I does not want to force her to fight.
