Katrina did anticipate that a punishment was a possibility after her emotional outburst. After all, she had, indeed, been disrespectful with Mr.  Ray. And she had very strong reasons to believe her father would have asked Mr. Ray to help her get rid of what he called unsavory behaviors. The girl looked at her hands for a moment, before looking back at the teacher.<br/><br/>When he had called by her name, it was Katrina's expectation that she was about to get some for of punishment. And she had made up her mind not to cry or ask him to stop, whatever his punishment might be.<br/><br/>Her green eyes widened in surprise when not only she was not punished, but the man offered her a compromise. The young woman stood there, silent, for a long moment, eyes on Mr. Ray's, looking for any sign that he was not being sincere. After not finding any sign that could lead her to distrust the men, the girl nodded. "Very well, sir. I agree to this compromise", she finally replied, her voice now calm and collected. "If you fulfill your part on our agreement, you shall not hear one single complaint on my part. Even if I myself shall get punished in any way you see fit", she completed.<br/><br/>After these words, and with a slightly mischievous glow to her eyes, she took off the delicate gloves she wore and held out her hands. "Would you like to cane me now for saying you were a very bad man, sir?", she offered, keeping her hands out and her eyes directly on his. "I will not cry or tell my father."
