[ Oh. Oh. It was a rare strain of glaze lily? Score! Ajax is going to go back to that girl and give her a big tip. Like really big! Little did she know that she just helped him impress his date. (Not that is was hard to impress someone as amiable and kind as Mister Zhongli, but still... still— good deeds should be rewarded. And something something Liyue and repaying debts.) ]

Oh no, no— I like hearing about it. And I'd like to hear more. Though it was luck that brought you such a rare flower rather than any skill on my part. Aha~ not that I'm complaining.

[ Ajax hands smooth over the menu in front of him, the stylized Liyuen kanji blending into an unreadable mass before his eyes. Now, Ajax was well versed in the culture and language of Liyue. He'd been stationed here for quite a while after all. And even though the pronunciation of his k's and g's gave him away as a foreigner from Snezhnaya, he was capable enough to conduct all sort of over the counter and under the table dealings.

But this—

Stylized and slightly archaic way of writing— completely beyond him. Good thing he wasn't too picky about what he ate. ]

Not really, no. I think I might have tried it once during a business lunch but was too distracted by work to properly enjoy the meal. I'd love the chance to enjoy it properly.

[ The grin he gives Zhongli is eager as he slides his own menu under Zhongli's. ]

You'll take good care of me, won't you?
