Xemnas suddenly turns to him and smiles, a vague, meaningless expression that doesn’t quite reach his eyes (they’re Nobodies, of course, but Zexion remembers seeing the same puzzling smile on Xehanort’s face). “Of course not,” Xemnas replies quietly, significantly, as if those three words hold the key to all their problems.

“You have always been too interested in insignificant detail,” Xemnas continues thoughtfully, as if he has forgotten that attention to detail is the only reason his higher plans are ever put into action. “The details can do nothing but hide reality. Still, I suppose you are capable of little more, Cloaked Schemer.”

Zexion says nothing; he has never understood Xemnas’s mind enough to know how to manipulate it. The man’s madness draws him and fascinates him, but has always left him uncertain of where he stands. Zexion wonders if these conversations are perhaps a sign of masochism on his part, if all that remains of Ienzo is this desperate need to understand.

“We are going to have enemies,” Xemnas comments suddenly, his attention shifting again to the bowl of water. His words are so detached that Zexion briefly wonders if he misunderstood. “Some anticipated, others… not.”

Zexion observes how Xemnas is no longer quite looking at him, and ponders the words left unsaid. The subtext is obvious, horrifyingly so. It shouldn’t surprise him, not after everything that they - but not quite them, their Others - did, and yet this is a possibility he never foresaw.

His mind is spinning, pieces of the puzzle that is the Superior’s recent distance falling into place, and he does what he can to buy time. “Nothing about which we need to worry overmuch,” he comments dismissively. It is not quite true - Xehanort’s Heartless has been on his mind more often than he would care to admit - but in theory, they still have every advantage. “If we are cautious, we can easily remain many moves ahead of any opposition.”

“Indeed. You are watching everything too closely, I imagine, carefully choosing your strategies,” Xemnas agrees, only the barest hint of a stress upon the word ‘everything.’ All the same, Zexion cannot help but recall Xigbar and his various excursions into eavesdropping.

Zexion nods slightly; this is a game that the Schemer knows how to play. It is a new challenge all the same: Zexion has long practice in preying upon a person’s insecurities and tearing a mind apart; he has seldom attempted the reverse.

“You know more about Nobodies than any of us,” he reminds Xemnas easily. Metaphysically, at least, it is even true. “As you said, keeping track of details is in my nature.” He could say more, but he knows better than to push too hard. Xemnas will reach his own conclusions, and given the man’s egocentrism, most likely the correct ones.

“I do not care for much of what I have been seeing lately,” he continues, smoothly shifting between topics. “Some of the newer members…” He had planned to keep such suspicions to himself, at least until he had more information on the matter, but he sees that there is no alternative. If Xemnas is determined to expect betrayal, then Zexion would prefer that he direct his attention elsewhere. “Axel is opportunistic. Marluxia, after his initial arrogance and uncooperativeness, has too quickly become… willing to serve.”

Xemnas gazes at him with sudden interest. “Number XI is eager to prove himself,” he counters thoughtfully.

“Number XI is eager to get close to you,” Zexion states bluntly. “For his own benefit, not for the Organization,” His expertise in such matters has never before been challenged, and he is ill pleased to find Xemnas now doubting him. The Superior’s vision and brilliance is unsurpassed, but the Organization also requires skills that he alone does not possess. Almost as if it were an afterthought, Zexion shrugs and adds, “Without a shared foundation of memories their loyalty cannot be assured. They do not all worship you as Saïx does.” As we do.
