[Compared to the harsh buzz of electricity live within him, Tristan's spell is unobtrusive, yet no less bright. He's not sure what he expected. Not the domineering rule of Queen's domains, obviously, but maybe something a little closer? Is all magic this way, or is it a reflection of Tristan themself?
But as fascinating as their magic is, he needs to focus.
When they step inside, E-Soul is alert for noise or movement. He may not have natural nightvision, but he has the artifical kind toggled on in his visor.]

[There's the sparse, faint creak of floorboards, but no immediate whispering as they walk. Instead, as they pass through the hallway, the blue LEDs of E-Soul's mask and suit momentarily dim, flickering, and his prosthetic right arm spasms. He grits his teeth and looks around sharply as the front door slams shut behind them. A second later, an internal door flies open and bounces off the wall.]
[Tristan walks on their toes, frowning at how dramatically the boards beneath groan...but don't give way. they haven't mastered detecting drop-floors, so they'll have to rely on E-Soul's reflexes to save them from any surprise tumbles.
that's hardly the concern in the forefront of their mind, however - it's ghosts! E-Soul's tic prompts a glance back, just in time to see the door slam. they open their mouth to say something, but the other door is cause to look ahead again.]

So sudden... Was it like this the first time?
