"It would be for the best," Marluxia said, smoothly, and looking over to Lumi. "If Vexen is overwhelmed by unwelcome presences, he'll be harder to convince." He smiled, although it didn't reach his eyes as he looked to Nel, and Ulquiorra, "Better that Zexion and I go in alone to begin with, rather than setting things off on the wrong foot."
Vexen was going to be unhappy enough to see him. If he was confronted with himself and Lumi, he might jump from unhappy to scared, and a scared Vexen was prone to doing something stupid and regrettable.
They needed to avoid that if they wanted to bring him in alive, in one piece, and willing; that being the ascending order of preference.
