The Ludo responds in a way she thinks the real one might, and she smiles, amused. She cannot help but wonder who is actually under that costume, simultaneously impressed with the outfit. Ludo begins to play with the game before pronouncing that the evil spirits would leave her house alone. If only it were so simple, but the things that plagued her were not the spirits of the dead. No, they were the problems of the living.”Sure, I’ll play,” she says, finding herself unable to say no. For all that she isn’t much of a game player, she seems to find herself playing them somewhat regularly now. Ludo seemed to be involved a shocking amount of the time, particularly when she has never met the real herald except once, in a crowd of people. Weaver grabs a peg and makes the first move. Or maybe it’s like the tenth move by now, since it had already been playing.
