i think you're so good (and i'm nothing like you)
Ajax had a soulmate mark, just like about half the population of Teyvat did.If Ajax ever found his soulmate, he would pretend to be normal for them. He would observe from afar if possible, and make sure nothing happened to them. That no ailments ever came to them. That they never came to lack anything.That was the plan. Or, at least, it had been, until the Tsaritsa requested an audience with him alone and asked to see his mark.
“Tartaglia,” she began, serious. “That is Morax, the Geo Archon.”
-------------
Or, Ajax is Morax' soulmate, the Tsaritsa ships him off to Liyue, and he has to pretend like he doesn't feel like he's not good enough for the Geo Archon.
