Marluxia allowed himself an amused smirk at Zexion's suggestion. Marluxia expected no different, of course, from their former number six. Zexion's whole life revolved around books, so naturally, if he wanted to find something out, the first thing he did was look for it in a book, and when asked to impart that knowledge, his first advice was to read the book.
Not that Marluxia had any objections to gaining information from the source. Having alternate sources was always useful, and the book would, at least, be something Marluxia could put down for a few minutes if it became too longwinded. Unlike Zexion, who had not been supplied with a pause button on his transformation into a Nobody, which seemed to be an unforgivable oversight at times.
"I'd appreciate the reading materials," he said, graciously. Though going to the library for them right now would be unwise; he'd have to leave that for a couple of days. Too many visits to a place he ventured infrequently would arouse suspicion. "Though theory alone may be insufficient," he wanted a proper demonstration, not just the long range view of Saix calling Lunatic out of the air that Ulquiorra had shared, "perhaps right here and now is not the best of times or places."
They were talking. That was fine; they had a right, and a viable excuse, to talk here. But there were too many here who were too sensitive to fluctuations in people, and too observant in general, that it was a risk to ask Zexion to pull a weapon on him now, or begin to do anything out of the ordinary with his own chakra. If anyone had noticed that they were together, they would be observing.
"Tell me how to start," he said, "the first steps, and next time," when certain people had gone to maintain their public faces, "may be a better opportunity for you to explain the whole thing." By then, Marluxia will have read the books, too, which would likely help.
