[Ajax doesn't see Aether and Zhongli in the house, having been looking down as he unbuttoned his shirt as he walked right into the bedroom. The shirt is thrown into the basket, picking it up as Lumine tosses the dress into it. His head turns sharply at the thud of the door, eyes wide with surprise as Lumine shrieks and covers herself.

Well, this is bad.

The man decides, in that moment, to just be straightforward with Aether, blinking once at him before cautiously beginning what he'll say to cover for the both of them as best as possible.]

Hey, calm down. Lumine's salad took an unfortunate spill all over us. If you don't believe me, you can look in the trash in the kitchen. I swept it up a few minutes ago, and since it was my fault, I told her I'd take care of the laundry before both my shirt and her dress get stained.

[Ajax starts to walk towards the doorway, using a free hand to shoo Aether out of the room so his sister can put on a new dress in peace.]

C'mon, let her get changed.
