Oh, now you come over because Xiansheng asks you to? I see how it is!

[ Ajax chides in mock admonition as he scritches behind Narwhal's ears just the way he likes it. The furious tail wagging that follows after is proof enough of that. Though Narwhal, like his owner, is an opportunist so will make the rounds between the two of the them once Ajax has settled to get the maximum amount of attention.

This similarity is only further highlighted when Ajax's knight chases after Zhongli's queen, falling for the bait as easily as Narwhal would chase after any ball thrown in his path. Instant gratification is a powerful motivator. ]

And I don't need attention! It was a honest and sincere compliment.

One worthy of saying that I hope to end up in your capable hands one day, but there's no way to say that without being either morbid or creepy. Or both.

[ Ajax pouts, but only for a moment before he brightens up again. ]

Oh!

[ He snaps his fingers. ]

I know how to turn this around. Can I borrow your newspaper?
