Vilakis is the lich queen of the Githyanki, having lived for over a thousand years, consuming countless Githyanki, draining their souls, and absorbing their power. Her challenge level is undoubtedly high, and Leon must grant her some respect.
Even so, it doesn't mean that whenever Vilakis calls for him, Leon has to run obediently to the Whisper Palace. Though he might not have surpassed Vilakis yet, whether he could defeat her is uncertain, but he's certainly on the same level as her, and he said, "I have matters to attend to now. Tomorrow, perhaps."
Duens wanted to persuade Leon.
"You won't change my mind," Leon said. "I said tomorrow, so tomorrow it is."
"Didn't you hear what Leon said?" Salovis's expression was not friendly, mainly due to being provoked by a young female Red Dragon just now, and another reason was her current confidence in her strength, which surpassed a Caslak squad leader. Weaklings do not deserve her respect.
