Scare her. I want her to know I'm not helpless against her annoyances. I've been giving in to her too often in order to buy myself some peace and safety--.
Hmm, well, there's the liquor I briefly considered giving you for Christmas--but since your strange taste in drinks seemed to be the sum total of what I knew about you, clearly I didn't know you at all. And it seemed rather gauche anyway.

I know. I'm beginning to think I ought to just do it myself. I've done it before. I've only a vague notion of what payment might be enough for this work.
Tell you what, Cain. I'll do this for you, and if I succeed I call on your debt owed to me any time I please. I swear to you on my name that no favor will require your death, the entirety of your fortune, or active betrayal. But if you turn me down as if this never happened, I'll take all three.
