So Szayel had already been filling Vexen in on the clan gossip. Marluxia allowed himself a smile at that information.
"Nnoita is Orochimaru's nephew, as well as one of the Arrancar," Marluxia said. "Considering he doesn't ordinarily get along with Kadaj's group, the team up was unexpected." Marluxia frowned slightly before he added, "Though, given their victim, not inconceivable. The tale they told was of Kadaj having tested his usual boundaries, getting into an argument with Orochimaru which escalated, and then Nnoitra happened upon the ruckus and came to assist. How likely that is," Marluxia trailed off, and flashed Vexen a glance. Vexen would come to his own conclusions after meeting the pair, most likely.
"The timing certainly went in their favour," Marluxia said, softly. "Nnoitra was one of the very few Arrancar left behind while the others attended to their mission at Midgar." He looked at Vexen, "It was on the return from that mission that a handful of them ran across Axel and Saix and the girl they were with." He wondered if Vexen would catch that lead, too, or if it would slip by him. "Meaning that all of Nnoitra's superiors were absent at the time."
