Lee spied the Governor and his lackeys approaching, expecting to hear some over-long speech about what they were about to go in to. Hence he was relieved when the man only had a few words to say. He watched with interest as the huge, old doors were unlatched. The sound was the scraping of metal and the groan of the long rusted hinges. The dust swirled forth in a small cloud, spilling the grainy debris about their feet. He had expected to be staring into a black void but it seemed the lights in the Maze retained power from a back up generator, most likely for this exact reason.
He watched as the first few entered the narrow pass down into the unknown of the Maze. There was no point in delaying so he stepped forward. He saw the boy, he looked to be younger than 20, hesitating at the top of the stairs. He stood alongside him but didn't look at him. "No use delaying when the reaper calls, boy." He mused in a low voice. He knew the boy's position, he got the impression most of them did. Lee began the descent into the concrete corridors and pathways. He quickened his pace a little until he had caught up to the man. He offered his hand, asking to carry the food. "Let me make some use of myself." If they were going to have to do this together he might as well feel like he was contributing ssomething to the expedition. He doubted there was much else he would be good for beyond carrying burdens. After all, wasn't that what he'd been doing for the past two months?
