"You were the one that wanted to go inside," Pap reminded him, looking down as he began to gain on her. Pulling her head from the window, the woman looked up and mentally took note of the path laid out before her, reaching to take hold of of a narrow ledge above the window built into the stonework, hauling herself up the wall with a soft grunt. "Doesn't look like the stairs go up anyway."
The roof of the tower had long ago collapsed inward along with the wall at the top of the tower where rows of windows could be made out in the rubble. Dragging herself in through a gap in the masonry, Pap peeked out once again at her companion. The stairs leading down were in places missing, one could see through the stairwell. Perhaps this place had once been a watch tower or a signal of sorts, Pap being fairly convinced that it reminded her of the lighthouses that dotted the coastline she'd lived in as a youth and into her adult years. As he neared the top she extended a strong arm down to hoist him up by. "Watch your step - I'd stay near the walls. Less of a chance to fall through."
