[As the waiter retreats to convey their order to the kitchen, Zhongli notices Ajax's fascination with the glaze lily, a soft smile playing on his lips.]
It's beautiful, isn't it? [he remarks, his gaze gentle as he observes the delicate bloom.
When Ajax questions whether the seafood dish was from another renowned restaurant, Zhongli nods in confirmation.] Indeed, it is the Xinyue Kiosk specializes in Yue cuisine, particularly known for seafood dishes. Perhaps we can try that on our next outing.
[He pauses, considering Ajax's preferences with a touch of bashfulness.] I must admit, I'm not particularly fond of seafood myself, [he confesses, his expression sheepish.] It's a matter of texture rather than flavor. However, I'm open to trying dishes such as seafood tofu, where the seafood is incorporated differently.
[As he speaks, Zhongli reaches out to gently smooth down a stray lock of Ajax's hair, a gesture that feels oddly familiar. In the background, the waiter comes to serve them their tea, fragrant and heady.] There we go,[he murmurs, his touch light and comforting.] All tidy.
