He stiffens when Zexion admits they aren't his kids, although not for the reason he thinks. When he mentions that he views them as his own, regardless of who the birth father is, Luxord flashes back to his own past. Adoptive parents can sometimes be kind but not everyone is lucky.
His eyes narrow as another thought comes to mind. "And how can you raise them without a heart, laddy? Children need more than provisions to thrive, they need the devotion of their parents. As a Nobody, how can you hope to give them that?"
That's a big concern for him. Nobodies are, by definition, heartless. It means they can act without a conscious to a certain extent. After all, almost anything can be rationalized if pesky emotions aren't in the way. "I need proof that you won't harm them, more than just your word." He gives him the option of coming up with an idea on his own.
