With all the conversing, and all the explanation going on, one would be hard pressed to remember that there was indeed a second black-clad individual in the Emperor's throne room. And Zarxe remained silent, though certainly still attentive. Most of what was explained were things the Organization had already discovered, either on their own or through their investigation of Renovation. There was only one real fact that was new, and that was the method by which the multiverse was created. The so-called X-Blade that opened the way for Kingdom Hearts. The Organization knew of Kingdom Hearts, the Leader even said that its raw power would someone to do virtually anything they wanted, they'd effectively be a God. Perhaps this was the reason why he took an interest in Renovation? Especially if Tocsax truly was the Nobody of the person who had wielded the power previously. Maybe, just maybe, the Organization was closer to its goal than the Leader originally led on?

[i]We do not sense anything overtly strange.[/i]

A voice that sort of echoed in Zarxe's mind. It was Alpha, a Lesser Nobody that Zarxe commanded - one of seven that were known as Hunters. Even now, the canine-like Nobodies were stalking the palace grounds from the confines of the Corridors of Darkness, using them to remain almost completely cloaked. Alpha was essentially the pack leader, nicknamed such due their similarity to a wolf pack, though Alpha would always defer to Zarxe.

[i]Except for [b]that[/b] one. His scent is completely bizarre... No. That's not entirely accurate. Perhaps it is more accurate to say that he has no discernible scent at all. It's... rather confusing.[/i]

Zarxe could tell who Alpha was referring to. They just spoke up, saying their name was Orpheus. Of the entire motley group, he was most certainly the strangest of all. Alpha's analysis seemed to indicate that the person apparently existed while also not existing. A paradoxical situation that made the figure all but impossible to accurately gauge. Still, Zarxe remained silent. He probably looked even more stoic than the actual palace guards did. His hood also made it impossible to see and thus read his eyes and expression. One of the many advantages enjoyed by those who regularly donned the black coat of the Organization.

[i]The others report nothing suspicious or out of the ordinary elsewhere in the palace.[/i]

While Alpha was technically in the throne room with Zarxe - albeit their presence was totally cloaked and masked by the Corridors of Darkness - the other six Hunters were prowling the palace grounds and corridors, acting as an almost constant recon of everything happening in the palace and reporting it to Alpha who relayed them to Zarxe. While very few in number, the Hunters were very good at the task they specialized in, that being stalking prey and - more recently - gathering intelligence. One would be hard pressed to find Zarxe in any position where he couldn't be made aware of something happening within the vicinity in a moment's notice.
