[ he's pretty, Ajax decides, a true Liyue flower if ever he saw one. the women that came to visit were pretty enough in their own right, but there's something about Zhongli that's just... enticing. it's the feeling of wanting to bite into a particularly juicy fruit, or stomping around on freshly fallen snow. he can't quite place his finger on it but he knows, if gone unchecked, it could wind up being potentially disastrous for the both of them.

he is curious who the other man means, and he can only ascertain that those are the friends he was speaking of earlier. perhaps they hadn't expected Zhongli to be set upon so soon, and therein was their first mistake.

It's one of my own, but it's an alteration of the usual Pacific Scorpion. High quality namebrand Fire-water vodka, watermelon puree and passion fruit - along with a bit of vodka soaked dragonfruit for extra flavor.

[ meaning it's fruity, definitely so - but wouldn't pull any punches on the vodka. ]

Try it. Tell me if you like it.
