[ Ajax is fascinated and immediately sets about investigating the most insignificant of things, taking extreme curiosity as to how and what humans might integrate into their basic (or not so basic) needs while lodging for the night. Trying to imagine what made humans decide to use this or that, to add unnecessarily extravagance to an a acknowledged utility, and similar such curiosities entertain and preoccupy the young Ninetails to the point Zhongli will be well finished with what he intends before Ajax ever shows a waning interest in what's in the room.
However, the excitement calms despite him being no less curious as he finds certain personal care items neatly set out at one point. A mirror and a comb that allows one to very precisely part and style their hair, perhaps with or without ornaments or other accessories at the visitors' own preferences and desires.
He peeks into the mirror as he leans forward a little a to see his reflection in it, tilting his head to one side. These items ... he has no use for them, but for some reason there is a tug in his chest that these were somehow something important at one point. It must be Lady Saiguu's memories of certain emotions breaking through the filth to affect him. He doesn't understand fully the feeling, the connection, or the instance of her memories that the stuff is these items could specifically invoke this, but he also doesn't understand how to ask his traveler companion for some possible explanation he hasn't considered.
(It is a rather skillfully and intricately created mirror and comb, but beyond that and their lack of utility, especially to a youkai that doesn't even hang around with other youkai, nevermind humans, there's nothing he can deduce from the items to make not sense of the feelings.
At the same time, he finds it extremely difficult to leave it alone as simply being a human item that really isn't anything more than their preferred ways to perfect their appearance. Something is nagging at him to not leave the significance of a mirror and comb alone, but he can't put his finger on what it is, how it is, or why it is. ) ]
