Matilda: Vertin!
The voice's owner has found you before you could even look for her.
Like a trained athlete, the divination genius charges towards you, her orbuculum secured under her arm.
Matilda: Aha! Finally caught you!
Matilda: Think you can hide from me? Did you really think you could sneak off to the twist ball without the knowledge of the monitor assistant Matilda?
Vertin: Twist ball?
Matilda: You can't fool me. The lovely Sotheby has given away the details of your plan.
Matilda: You should feel lucky that I'm soft-hearted and generous with other people's mistakes. Now, if you invite me to this ball, I will forget about what happened.
Vertin: There is no twist ball, Matilda.
Matilda: Do you really expect me to believe that?! I ...
She sees the genuine look on your face, and her confidence starts to waver.
Matilda: Ah, do you mean that? Was Ms. Sotheby pulling a prank on me?
Vertin: Perhaps she forgot that she was supposed to hold the ball.
Matilda: So no one was left out, and she won't be doing some silly twist dance.
Matilda: Hmph! You'd better be telling the truth. I hope you will come up with a more tasteful event next time.
Matilda: And be sure to invite me! As the monitor assistant, I am obligated to be there and supervise.
Matilda: *sneering* Hmph! You can't trick me into breaking the rules. I will become a Foundation investigator all on my own.
Matilda: And I will outdo you and Sonetto in this position!
Matilda: By then, you will be hoping to join me, not the reverse!
Matilda: You're cleverer than this, Vertin! You know you can't fool me. I will be watching.
TALK AGAIN
Matilda: What is it? Something you want to tell me?
Matilda: *sneering* Hmph! You can't trick me into breaking the rules. I will become a Foundation investigator all on my own.
Matilda: And I will outdo you and Sonetto in this position!
Matilda: By then, you will be hoping to join me, not the reverse!
Matilda: You're cleverer than this, Vertin! You know you can't fool me. I will be watching.
