Vexen wasn't somebody that Xigbar had thought he'd need to keep much of an eye on. Vexen wasn't particularly independent. He'd spent his life with a group, both before and after his stint as a Nobody, and he was used to having people around him and used to them making the decisions. He might be the sort of person who put more than a little too much stock in rank, but he needed people around him, especially powerful people, because he was nothing if not a coward.
Xigbar hadn't expected Vexen to wander off. He'd figured he'd go to somewhere he was used to, far away from the others, and stay holed up there until his temper receded because he was a creature of habit. Vexen had been lost because he'd defied Xigbar's expectations of behaviour.

Pretty low expectations, Lea thought.
