[ Ajax's expressions falls slightly as Zhongli takes the knight as if he somehow expected a different outcome to an extremely obvious play. Oh well, he is now distracted by grabbing the newspaper from Zhongli's hands so that his next move is equally sloppy and not well thought out— the queen flings herself across the board to take the bishop.
...Okay, it might be a little petty, too.
But no matter, Ajax is too busy flipping pages in the newspaper and scribbling something down hastily while not letting Zhongli even get one look at where or what he is writing. He folds the paper tightly into fourths when he is done (hope Zhongli wasn't actually planning on reading that) and sets it back on the other man's side of the table with a mischievous grin and confident nod of a job well done. ]
No peeking until after I leave, okay?
[ Later, in the privacy of his company, Zhongli will find that Ajax has scribbled a quick doodle next to the obituary section. It's a comical sketch of Narwhal holding an old school phone (does the man even have a cell phone) with the words Call me! and Ajax's cell number underlined three times and with three exclamation points. ]

It's a surprise for later.
