Ulquiorra responded with a quiet grunt. He still disliked travelling with Lumi and Marluxia; things would be less complicated if they weren't in attendance, and not just because Ulquiorra would be escorting Zexion to protect him from outside forces, and not, potentially, ones from within their own travelling party.
Not that he was going to admit to any such opinions in Nel's presence.
He picked up his coffee in both hands and took a drink before he asked Zexion, plainly, "Do you believe bringing Vexen to the Palace is the best course of action?"
He sounded difficult to work with, but so was Szayel, and like Szayel, despite the downfalls, he had a lot to offer. The question was whether he'd be prepared to offer it, whether he would be an ally of Zexion's, whether he would be an ally of Aizen-sama's, and whether taking him to the Palace where he would be less easily reached by others would be worth the effort of doing it. They were investing a lot in retrieving this man; he would need to be worth it.
