"It was nothing I couldn't heal," Szayel replied, holding his hand up so Marluxia, and by extension Lumi, could see the unmarred skin on the back of his hand. "Still," he said, "that was impressive bite force to break through my hierro."
Very sharp teeth, he thought. Lumi really was more of an animal, in many ways.
He moved down the side of the bed, the opposite to Marluxia, and cast a critical eye over Lumi that contained a hint of an unpleasant smile. "You hide the ice sub-type well," he commented, after a moment, moving to squeeze a lever at the head of the bed and lift the end up so Lumi was a little more upright. "I doubt your assailant knew of the associated weakness to fire. Was it an opportunistic shot, or did you deliberately take the bullet for Marluxia?"
That had to be who it had been originally intended for, or at least, whose weaknesses it was intended to exploit. Marluxia wore his element on his sleeve, much as Even did.
