Marluxia nodded, slightly, and gave a short sigh before he began, "Then we'll cut to the chase. We know you've left The Order," he said, gesturing with one hand, and painting the words into the air, "and we know at least some of the circumstances under which you've left." He glanced towards Zexion, before looking back to Vexen, "We know of Saix's betrayal, and continued betrayal, and," he emphasised the word, "we know Axel is here."

He dropped his hand, taking a breath before he sighed again, more heavily this time. "If nothing else, Vexen, we have a common enemy. Two of those three standing out there fought Axel and Saix as a combined force not long ago." Nel had nearly killed Axel, even, and Ulquiorra had tried, but failed. Saix's reaction to Axel being in such danger, however.... "It's safe to assume they're firm allies once more, and we're no happier about that than I expect you are."
