[ Ajax's response starts out innocent enough, it's not a surprise that his siblings love sweets, all kids that age would be happy to forgo dinner to eat their desserts. But just as she's getting ready to glance around for something to pick up later, he catches her completely off guard with his follow-up.
"—might be perfect to take back to the room for those freeloaders to snack on."
That throws her off kilter so much that it causes her to balk at him with her jaw practically on the ground. Freeloaders...? Sure, she gets that he's annoyed at the two stowaways, but calling them freeloaders feels like he's taking it too far to the point of being uncharacteristic of him. For as long as she's known Ajax, he's never been one to scoff at someone for being less fortunate; he's never once hesitated to throw money and then some. Yoimiya is so taken aback by this that she's dead silent for at least a solid minute.
First, the employees and now Ajax. Is there something in the water here that's causing everyone to walk around with a stick up their butt? Who's next? The Aranara? Are the Aranara gonna chew their heads off when they return to their room? This whole ordeal feels like it's reaching the point of insanity. ]
Um... okay, I appreciate that.
[ At least he seems to be nice to her. If Ajax is this grumpy at the Aranara, she doesn't want to deal with him when he's throwing an attitude at her. ]

Ajax, are you okay? You sound really... agitated.
