a response to @adeptai

noting the reaction of the adeptus before him, zhongli's expression changes subtly, noting the changes in xiao's face as he reacts to the food. surely, the meal would've been prepared like how it usually was, but seeing that the adepti didn't seem too pleased with it, made zhongli lean over to examine the meal itself. he could smell that the dish was fine, but even he would agree with xiao's observations that it seemed off.

he turns to the adepti when he apologizes to him for scowling at his food, and he shakes his head, a low hum escaping his throat. "apologize not for it, young adepti. i do believe that this dish is... not prepared exactly for your tastes. it is likely a mistake with the chef," he told with a nod, looking at the plate with xiao's meal, looking back up at the adepti again.

starter for @ballad-of-encore .

a (small) glare is shot at morax as the adeptus looks between both him and the meal on the table in front. ‘ are you positive this is prepared properly.. ? ’ knowing xiao, he would be eating his usual meal without any complaints-- that is unless it's a dish that includes meat.

his fork simply glazes over the plate of chicken and rice; the food itself smells alright but the looks and xiao's mind can't seem to shake something slightly wrong with the dish. ‘ my apologies, sir zhongli.. i understand you've invited me to this outing to eat and not scowl over the food before me. ’
