"I know right. It's rather insulting for Helena for you all to not have confidence in her work." Tayaw says.
Helena, hearing Tayaw's comment, almost feels insulted again, misinterpreting Tayaw's compliment for sarcasm.
"I don't need you feeling sorry?.." Helena says, annoyed.
"Psh. I'm not feeling sorry, you don't need it. Your book is a refreshing read. Yours and Grimmauld's books are the only interesting reads this year." Tayaw shrugs.
"Did you really read it?" Helena asks, her annoyance waned.
"Yeah. Exploring human nature. Why people do what they do when they are forced in a situation where they are the closest to their primal instincts. I especially liked the part where that one guy who hallucinated after being stung by that poisonous plant. Your book explores human psychology and experience too." Tayaw says.
"T-thanks..." Helena is overwhelmed with flattery in contrast to her expectation.
