HARPER
Harper does not want to make a habit out of disobeying Gods. Or, well, singular God. Safrin had told him simply that he needn't bother with the other Old Gods, though she had been kind enough to give him their names. Harper would have been content to leave it at that, had it not been for Kiada.
Hearing of her quest had made his heart ache with sympathy. Though he has no reason to intervene on her behalf - and wouldn't, for she is fully capable of fighting her own battles and would surely kill him for the insult - his curiosity is nonetheless far from sated. Yet again, he has not been told anything of Ludo or its works. So Harper does what he does best - he leans on his faith, and he leaps.
'Ludo's Woods' had been the only hint he'd been given from the library, but finding the Shrine (or what he thinks is the shrine) only takes a bit of wandering and exploration. After the disaster of Jigano being a jerk, Harper hadn't been inclined to ask anyone about gods again. Having known even less about Ludo than Safrin, he is less certain as he places his offering at the shrine - a horse toy on wheels with a little string attached to the front to pull it alone, painted on all sides (badly, but he had tried) to mimic the skeleton of the creature beneath. Sitting back he closes his eyes, and though Harper is not used to his prayers being answered yet, he tries nonetheless. "Ludo, if you have a moment I would like to meet you." Hopefully his sincerity would translate. And if the God could not arrive, then perhaps it would enjoy the toy left in Harper's wake.

I'll be with you each and every night
Chasing that horizon in your eyes
