[ Ajax zones out for a bit, too mesmerized by seeing the glaze lily bloom upon the table to register the more detailed parts of Zhongli's order. Were they supposed to do that? He'd never seen that particular flower (except for the carefully manicured ones near the Qixing's buildings) until yesterday. Were they nocturnal then?
