The first was reasonable. Honestly, increasing the salary was predictable, and she'd have done the same in his place. So she nodded.
The second was annoying, but doable. That would cost more than the salary, even if this took years, and could wind up being in debt to him. Still, for the cure, she'd go through with it. If the blow to her pride was that severe, she could always move. So she nodded.
But the third - he had an accurate guess.
"How dare you give me orders!" She snapped, eyes aflame with rage. "You have no idea what I went through to make that amulet! If you want a single brick of that damned castle replaced, you had better pray I can touch it again, you worthless-"
She'd gotten so angry she intended to storm over to him and give him a good thrashing - but her legs weren't made for that now. So her sudden rising up and stepping forward made her trip over her own dress, and with an awful "WAK!" she landed right on her face, hitting the floor with her rump in the air.
