*Swish*
In a ripple of spatial energy, Leon materialized on the first floor of the dungeon. The moment his feet touched the cold stone, the massive gates groaned open on their own, ancient mechanisms grinding to life as if welcoming their master home.
"Why the hell aren't these doors opening u—Ahhhhhhh..."
*Clank-Clank-Clank-Clank*
The heavy doors had barely parted when a skeletal figure came tumbling through, rolling down the short flight of stairs in a chaotic clatter of bones. Rees came to a halt mere inches from Leon's boots, sprawled in an undignified heap.
"Hello, Rees." Leon's lips curved into a faint, amused smile as he gazed down at the lich.
"Sir Leon... I greet you." Rees scrambled to his feet with surprising grace for a being made of bone, then bowed deeply, his empty sockets fixed respectfully on the ground.
"It's been a while... Where have you been?" Leon's expression shifted to neutral, though a hint of curiosity flickered in his eyes.
