Penny had said that what she had done was nothing, that it had just been basic morality, but Paige couldn't accept that. She'd feel guilty if she didn't repay that somehow. "Penny, you saved my [i]life[/i]," she said. "And you could have died doing it. That's not nothing. Listen- if you ever need anything, anything at all that I can help with, just- just ask, alright?" And with that, Paige turned and headed towards the barn.

It seemed that the rest of the group had been delayed by something. Paige could see them leaving the barn as she approached, and then a moment later, well, [i]something[/i]. Paige realised what was happening just in time for her to tilt her head out of the way of a stray piece of crap that came flying past. She looked at her outfit and realised how glad she was that she'd avoided that. Anyway, whatever had caused that had slowed down the rest of the group enough that Paige caught up. As they were all heading inside, she, being slower than them, was left behind momentarily, but caught up again once they all stopped and gathered around the hole in the floor.

It was then that the tall boy asked whether they should procede into the tunnel below the barn. For Paige, that was an easy question to answer. She had never wanted to be involved in this, but since she had no choice, she was determined not to be dead weight. She hadn't come out all this way only to give up when things got a little bit creepy; far worse than creepy was sure to come by the end, if there was one. "We came here for information, didn't we?" she asked him.

Paige then climbed down to the first couple of rungs of the ladder, using her good leg and her free hand. "Catch," she said to the dark-skinned girl below, before dropping her crutch down to her, and climbing down the rest of the steps in a strange manner, relying mostly on upper body strength (of which Paige had a surprisingly large amount of, given her build; contrary to popular opinion, it takes quite a lot to draw back a bow, as she had done many times now) to lower herself between steps while her prosthetic leg hung limply, not touching the ladder.

Once Paige had dropped her crutch, she carried on speaking to the tall boy above her. "I don't know about you, but a weird-ass, dark-ass tunnel seems like a great place to store something you don't want found. Evidently, it scares people away."
