What Marluxia was suggesting, he thought, was that in his opinion it was probably Zexion, and if it wasn't then they had no more than vague suspicions of who it might be. Which was a view that the rest of Khamja would likely take if the news of a leak broke.
He smirked faintly at Vexen's question, however. The alliance he actually had with Zexion was built on a sense of better-the-devil-you-know, and mutual interest. A large part of that mutual interest was in keeping information about themselves quiet from the rest of Khamja. But how did it appear to the others?
"Khamja will expect an alliance," he said, "but we speak infrequently, if cordially, and they are aware that we were not on the best of terms before our reunion. If I were to turn and betray Zexion, I doubt it would surprise anyone." It might cause ripples if Zexion were to turn and betray him, however; Marluxia let himself be seen as the nastier, scheming type. It didn't suit anyone to let the rest of Khamja know The Cloaked Schemer was the otherwise inoffensive looking alchemist that everyone thought was being held and manipulated so expertly.
