[The response from her earns a genuine chuckle out of him. It's true, he can hardly blame her for looking at it that way. The small mildly illegal things they've done so far are nothing for him, but certainly has already pushed her out of her comfort zone.]
I'll try to work on that, then.
[Try being the operative word here.
As they get further toward the front of the line, he turns to the couple behind him, giving a friendly smile and using that business charm once again he's so used to portraying when trying to make a good first impression.]
Hey, could I ask a favor when we get up to the statue? Will the two of you come with us to help take some pictures? We'll be able to get some pictures for the two of you in return.
[They smile and nod back, answering with Sure, that would be nice! and the like, so Ajax's eyes brighten as he goes into one of his stories.]
By the way, did you both know about the legend surrounding the cryo archon's statues? It's said that once every millennia, the cryo archon will recognize those who approach their holy ground and offer their prayers together who all possess the qualities that are most revered by the archon.
[He clears his throat, to quote something he read while doing research into Childe and Lumine.]
"The world opens itself before those with noble hearts." Those are the words of the gods, spoken to mortals who have been recognized by their statues. If nobility is that of what the cryo archon seeks, well, who's to say. Would you try it with us? I think all we'd have to do is press our hands to the statue and offer a prayer to the same time. Who knows, maybe we'll get recognized.
[Under the jacket, he squeezes Lumine's arm once- look, he's totally got this.]
