Nel opened her mouth to speak, and then stopped again when Ulquiorra spoke. Then she murmured, quietly, and dipped her head in half a nod. She agreed with Ulquiorra's sentiment, at the very least; they would not be far behind, even if they had to stick behind.
She glanced at Lumi. "I take it you're waiting with us, then?" He didn't seem to be part of Zexion's plan to entice Vexen; that one was on Marluxia, and himself, which left Lumi in the unenviable position of either being a spare prick at a lesbian wedding and making things awkward, or having to stick about with the bodyguard crew of herself and Ulquiorra.
Because waiting for Marluxia and Zexion to coax a crotchety scientist who in the very least would rather see Marluxia dead than join him was exactly what Nel wanted to be doing while in the company of two guys for whom emotions were things that happened to other people.
On the other hand, if Lumi went in with them then she knew Ulquiorra would object. Potentially out loud.
