None of what Aizen said was news to L. He'd been keeping as careful an eye on that situation as Aizen himself, and in fact was aware of rumours of a handful of survivors, though nothing corroborating. He hadn't been in a fit state to pursue that line of inquiry, and in any case the rumour and gossip in Bancour was unreliable at best right now.

He watched the other Arrancar, however, and Marluxia, who seemed as patiently perplexed as he had since Aizen had walked in, and noted their reactions, or lack thereof.

Ulquiorra, he found himself thinking, had no reaction to spare for here, because he'd spent it all on L's own face earlier.

He scratched at his knee, and watched Gin and Aizen watch the others.
