"They think he has formed an alliance with you because you were the one familiar face in the Clan," he said, looking thoughtful. "You're allowing them to underestimate both of you."
That was useful. They were seen as allies, but it was known to enough of Khamja's members that they were an alliance of necessity that it made Ienzo look desperate for common ground. They had no idea that Ienzo was not the sweet, put-upon prisoner that they clearly took him for, or that Marluxia needed him for certain things. They saw him as a weaker one of the Ryoka, who was tentatively allied with Marluxia because ... really, what else did he have?
"And they will know that I am less likely to have an underlying ... problem with him, due to our previous affiliation?" He asked. "And you and I? The same as Ienzo and yourself?"
He certainly didn't intend to spend much time in Marluxia's company. He was looking forward to the scientific freedom that Khamja promised to provide, the library's research resources and plenty of distance between him and The Order.
