To those who hadn't spent time with him and Marluxia, it would be easy to assume he was an underling. His body language was a match for that of the newcomer's two black-clad minions and even many of those who knew him for a member thought him to be firmly under Marluxia's thumb at worst and a bodyguard at best. Marluxia was the brains, Lumi was the one you had to be careful of.
He narrowed his eyes.
She was easily the most unpleasant person there, and Khamja was generally a melting pot of thoroughly unpleasant people. She had a problem, from what he and Marluxia had been able to find out, with anybody who wasn't a dark-haired Hume. She held the sort of archaic racism that history from his world had all but forgotten, choosing instead to heap their prejudices on other species rather than other colourations of the same. To her eyes, Marluxia and himself were Selkies. The same could be said of Ienzo, and Even was likely seen as an Al Bhed, if not a typical one.
She set his teeth on edge.
When Kreeth spoke, Lumi knew that a switch had just been flipped. It was a question, one softly spoken, but the bird-woman may as well have thrown a punch. He took a half-step in front of Marluxia, far from the only bodyguard in the room to notice the subtle straining of tension.
