Listening to Raelle, Soren came to realize that she actually holds grudges. He never thought that Raelle would have a petty side but she did. Since he pointed out how her grandfather dictated her life, she actually remembered it and even used his own actions to remind him that his actions weren't any different from her grandfather's.
He decided not to continue this argument with her since there was no way, he'd win this battle of words. And he wasn't in the mood to lose right now. So, he silently just bore it for now.
"This meal is really delicious," stated Hyson. He had never been stingy with praises. Especially when it came to food, he'd be willing to wholeheartedly praise the chef to heaven as long as the food catered to his taste. And currently, he really enjoyed the food so he wasn't gonna be shy with his praises. "You have a real talent. I really respect that!"
