Marluxia smirked at Ignis's comment about Szayel. Marluxia had got the impression that where his sexual exploits were concerned, Szayel was mostly talk. Most people didn't want to touch him with a barge pole precisely because of his behaviour. In the time he and Lumi had graciously allowed Szayel to continue to draw breath Marluxia doubted he'd actually slept with anyone.

Still, there was a note of effeminate bitchiness in Ignis's comment. It was surprising for someone that had come as an envoy representing some other, unnamed foreign member. There was a hint of bark there, that Marluxia could appreciate.

Was it backed up by any bite?
