[Zhongli's eyebrows arch ever so slightly in surprise at Ajax's question.] Oh? [The corners of his lips twitch with amusement, though he shakes his head.] You should not be concerned about propriety. Though I must admit, it's rare to see someone in Liyue request utensils other than chopsticks.
[He reaches for his own pair, deftly picking up a piece of spicy tofu and placing it onto Ajax's plate.] Have you not learned how to use chopsticks during your time here? [Zhongli inquires gently, his tone carrying a hint of teasing.] You've been in Liyue for quite some time now. Surely you've had ample opportunity to become proficient with them?
[Zhongli's gaze softens with a hint of amusement, giving some sort of respite to his taunting as he observes Ajax's reaction. He's fond, even if a bit challenging. Ajax has been daring, earnest. Something like this seems just a small setback in comparison.] However, if you find using chopsticks challenging, I'd be more than happy to offer my assistance. Would you like me to teach you?
