That made sense. Lumi knew men like Vexen, men who considered themselves important enough to have a sizeable ego but also just enough doubt to make them take small risks with allies to make sure they weren't killed. It was useful.

"And what do you think he will make of the Arrancar and myself?"

That was one of the tricky questions. Well, it was one of the easy questions, it was the answer that was tricky. Vexen was known to have had negative experiences with Arrancar. That said, the group were relatively sure that he had never encountered these two Arrancar in particular, which was a plus. As for what he'd make of him... he was, by and large, an unknown quantity.

The most they knew of him was that he'd shot and either killed or grievously injured a member of Akatsuki and that he was Marluxia's partner.
