Marluxia shook his head. "At present they have no concept of there being different kinds of Ryoka. I'm sure it will come as a surprise to find that there are more worlds and their inhabitants out there than there are species here." Marluxia's experience of the locals had been that they tended to be a bit willfully ignorant on that front, but it suited Marluxia to let people assume that all Ryoka were the same except for a collection of nebulous abilities that meant the glaring differences between himself and Lumi never warranted comment.
"Lumi is subservient," Marluxia said, despite it being a lie, but it was certainly how he appeared to everyone, and it suited them both to let everyone, including Zexion and Vexen, think that way, "if not subordinate. He will keep to alliances on my part."
Unless he really didn't want to, Marluxia thought, but Lumi was refreshingly intelligent and practical on that front. He'd only break an alliance that wasn't useful, or that posed a threat, which was, conveniently enough, exactly the sort of alliance Marluxia would break, too.
