Marluxia had done a good job of convincing him, which was heartening. He had expected drafting Vexen to be rather more difficult than it was, but presenting the options to him from the outset had worked well. He had a strong feeling that he would have been able to snare him without Marluxia's help, but Marluxia doing the majority of the work meant that their alliance was assured from the beginning and that the old Number Eleven wasn't going to be an unpleasant surprise and source of antagonism further down the line.
"He's right," he said, dropping his hand from the keyhole, leaning off the door and spreading his weight evenly on both feet. "If we delay longer than we already have, they will grow suspicious that we're plotting something. The Arrancar are useful allies to have, but they do answer to someone else and will relay information back to their superior."
The last word almost sounded like it had a capital letter, somehow.
