Me? Nervous? About what? That I might do something embarrassing in front of this mysterious handsome and intelligent person who I am trying so very hard to impress. Haha, nothing to be nervous about at all!
[ Ajax clasps Zhongli's hand in both of his, turning it to also face palm up as he hunches over across the chess board to peer down at it with a thoughtful hum. ]

[ He trails a finger across the length of Zhongli's open palm. ]
Oh look here. A strong long life line. That's good!
[ If Zhongli knows anything about palm reading (or even anything about Ajax), that isn't where the lifeline is supposed to be, but it's also the longest line on Zhongli's palm. So for Ajax's intents and purposes, it might as well be as his finger moves to skim over an adjacent line. ]
And the second longest one— oh, that's your work line. It's pretty consistently deep. Are you sure you don't need a vacation? Or maybe a little relaxation.
[ Ajax tilts his head up just enough to give a salacious wink before turning his attention back to Zhongli's palm. ]
Hmmm. And now where is it? Where is it... Ah!
[ His smile widens, a telltale sign that he is teasing. ]
Your love line. It starts late, but looks to be unbroken after that. Lucky you!
