this fox youkai seems terribly pleased with himself when he gets the affectionate response, his ears bending just a little along with the movements of Zhongli's fingers even if they aren't specifically touching them. It seems he likes the feeling, that much is obvious! If he understands the implications of Zhongli's initial reaction, however, it isn't clear. He may know what he did, but for some reason it would easily feel equally like that Ajax couldn't possibly know any better even if he hasn't exactly admitted to being familiar with things such as the implications and responses of affectionate gestures like such. Regardless, he seems very pleased, enough that he doesn't question any of it and instead snuggles right up against Zhongli like the other is a long lost littermate.
It's cute, if not a bit awkward for poor Zhongli. At the very least the adeptus will have no concerns that he is anything short of trusted and adored by Ajax considering how easily and affectionately the youkai is willing to share a sleeping spot with his elder without fuss.
It would also seem he is a bit more tired than he initially let on, as well, as he falls asleep quite quickly for one not affected by the various strenuous activities of the day. Then again, he could be just like a small kit still (as with any child of any species, really) and simply tuckered out from the overly exciting day he's had, too. ]
