[He grins, pleased that Midoriya seems excited by his offer.]
Of course. Any time.
[Tonbokiri leads Mikuniguro and Midoriya closer to the hole. After
dropping the horse's reins, he has a free hand with which to open the door
in the ground. It opens up to a ladder leading straight down a tunnel into
pitch darkness. The initial group had had the foresight to leave a torch
and a flintstone here, so in only a moment Tonbokiri has a flame going. He
offers the torch to Midoriya.]
May I ask you to take this? I will lead the way, but it is easier to climb
down with only one hand occupied. [He indicates his spear in his
left hand - even in a situation like this where it is difficult to carry it
with him, he will not leave it behind.]
