[A lot of information is gleaned from Zhongli during their walk.
He's thankful for it, as it gives him a lot more insight to their situation, and finally answers most of his questions regarding why he and Lumine are the way they are. Ajax made sure to ask very specific questions, sometimes getting a little bored or frustrated when Zhongli went off track from time to time, but he gets what he needs. But even despite periods of rambling, he finds it comforting to be able to walk alongside him, a familiar presence which he can only attribute to Childe and Zhongli having been friends so long ago.
It seemed to make Zhongli happy to see him again too, and Ajax almost doesn't notice that several hours have past before they return to the house.
But work is still something he has to devote time and energy to, so brief goodbyes are said before Ajax heads back to the apartment to check emails, texts and voicemails. One of which is important, and something that he needs to speak with Lumine about. Thankfully she's already in the apartment, noticing she'd been working herself in the office, leaving her be to do so as he went through his own mess of messages.
It's now that he pops his head into the office, looking a little more serious than usual, but not worried.]
