[ Ajax whistles long and low as he watches Zhongli remove his knight from the board. Aw, that was one of his favorite pieces. But— the lack of hesitation to make such a trade just further sparks his interest. It seems his new friend (can you call someone a friend when you've only played chess with them for a few minutes?) likes to put on a show as well. He claims the white bishop as his own prize not a few seconds later. ]

Wow. You really just went for it, huh?

[ To which Ajax wags a finger (and by proxy the chess piece) in Zhongli's direction. ]

You better not be going easy on me. I simply won't forgive you if you do, Professor!

[ That appears to be Ajax's next stab in the dark at Zhongli's mystery occupation. ]
