Marluxia regarded Szayel coolly. It was irritating to recognise that Szayel had uses that probably kept him alive, but Marluxia had been forced to recognise them yesterday. Today, however, Szayel was back to being an irritation as usual.

He had questions for Lumi later. Which included questions about his refusal of antibiotics, not that Marluxia blamed him. He also had some explaining to do, he expected. It was time he explained as much about the other Nobodies as he possibly could to Lumi.
