[ Zhongli crosses his arms over his chest, a clear sign that Yae should continue. It is a practiced motion, one that he has done many times before. Perhaps his dealings with fox youkai (or just tricksy creatures in general) has left him equally adept at handling them as well as bone-weary of their antics.
"Oh, Mister Zhongli~ No need for that dour look on your face. It's simple really. I'm looking for a very special feather - a pinion feather from the Thunderbird. It's gone missing from where it is usually kept and I'm afraid with this distraction, we won't have the resources to go hunt for it ourselves. Now, I'm not asking you to drop everything and look for it seeing as the two of you are on vacation. But an extra pair or two of eyes never hurts.
And young Ajax here will know it when he sees it."
She gestures to him with a wide sweep of her sleeve, a move which has Zhongli tilt his head curiously to one side before he straightens his posture and turns to Ajax. Yae never did anything without purpose. So either she wanted Ajax to find this artifact or have Zhongli realize something when he came upon it himself.
Ah well, as long as they walk into this obvious bait with eyes wide open. ]
It seems like a fair exchange, their aid in exchange for ours. Do you find the terms acceptable?
