Ulquiorra was good at self control, but even he wasn't good enough to have his reactions go unnoticed by Aizen-sama. Outwardly, the only response was a blink in the fraction of a second pause. His reiatsu, however....
Having to recount the conversation, even in his head, brought feelings to the surface. L's betrayal of their family had been unforgivable, and still he was the only family Ulquiorra possessed. L had been there while Ulquiorra grew up, L had taught him how to read and write Old Rozarrian, had lived with them as if he was Ulquiorra's brother, not an Uncle.
His reiatsu wavered and darkened in that moment before he answered, becoming heavier, although Ulquiorra controlled it as best he could.
"L had known what was to transpire at Gongaga," Ulquiorra answered, which would have been enough of a reason on its own, for most, but Ulquiorra didn't see the point in giving half a story to Aizen-sama. Besides, it had not been that fact which had made Ulquiorra lose his temper. "I hit him when he attempted to stop me leaving. Then he told me he had done nothing because he had been in a difficult position and expected I would be with our family."
That was what made Ulquiorra's chest tighten, and his reiatsu wavered again as he recounted it. L had left all of them to die, and had never located Ulquiorra because he thought he was dead. So much of Ulquiorra's own life would have been so different if L had intervened, or had bothered to check that everyone who was supposed to be in attendance had been.
