[ Ajax looks all around as if someone is going to jump out of the bushes to ambush him and places a finger to his lips. ]
Shhhhh. Shhhhhhhh.
You can't just go around saying that. I have a reputation to maintain. And if Teucer ever finds out that I'm weak to his puppy dog eyes, I'm a goner. Rest in peace, dear Ajax, we barely knew ye!
[ He ends his exclamation with a dramatic slumping over the chess table, careful to do it on his side so that he doesn't actually disturb any of the pieces. Which means he is right now about eye level with Zhongli's freshly moved pawn.
Oh? Is it a race now? A race to see who can get the second queen on the field. (No, it is not a race. Nor is that how any sane person would play chess. And yet. A n d yet—) Not even bothering to sit up straight, Ajax moves his pawn one more step forward as if it wasn't already predestined that Zhongli would reach the other end of the board before he did. ]
You have any siblings, Xiansheng? If I had to guess, you definitely have an older brother or only child vibe.
