HARPER
Harper wilts under the chastisement, blue gaze dropping away from the expressionless mask. Clearly he had already been spoiled by Safrin's patience, being as she was the first deity he met in Caido. It's his own fault for assuming they're even remotely the same, but the irritation hurts nonetheless.
Harper doesn't even consider that it might be Ludo's opinion, far too trusting in the being's decisive answer. "Sorry," he says softly instead, hoping to atone for where he has clearly misstepped. "There's still so much to learn about this place, and if I can help by destroying them..." he cuts himself off before he starts to talk too much again, lest he stuff his foot in his mouth seconds after being told to keep it shut. Harper manages a smile and brings his gaze back to the masked figure. "You and Mort may not be the gods I followed in the past, but what you do for everyone...I wanted to come and say I appreciate it, and that however I can help or honor you - even just by bringing you toys - I promise I will." Hopefully a better note to leave it on. Far too full of faith and love to be fully spurned away from worship.

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