Chopsticks were a mistake. A very very big mistake as now Ajax is supposed to be doing something that is not listening to the deep soothing tenor of Zhongli's voice saying something about "response" and "gentle touch" while Zhongli's hand is warm and steady over his. Zhongli is wrong. Absolutely positively wrong. Gentle can break something as equally as holding something tight — just in very different ways. And wouldn't Ajax enjoy if Zhongli were to — ... No. Bad Ajax. Not right now. This is about using wooden sticks to shovel food into one's mouth—
Pull yourself together, Ajax. Focus! ]
Mmmhmmm. Yeah. I see. Gentle. —gently.
[ That is to say — Ajax tries to act more like a student and less of a crushing puppy as he lets Zhongli guide his hand to pick up some leafy green that he should know the name of. His single-minded determination to impress the other man keeps his thumb and ring finger locked in position as he tries to maneuver the chopsticks with his other two fingers. It's marginally successful — at least pincered instead of stabbed — as the vegetables wobbles in the space in front of them precariously. ]
