gods request, gods receive

GIDEON

Be careful my darling
Be careful of what it takes

The trip into the Climb was a dangerous and long one. Of course, Gideon had not hesitated to undertake it under the request of Ludo (there was nowhere on Caido he wouldn't go, if he was asked by a God - if he died there, it was their plan), but he had wanted to employ somebody perhaps more suited to the rough-and-tumble adventuring life to come with him.

Harper or Ronin had come to mind first, but he wanted to extend his connections with the Demi-Gods and faithful further. When he had remembered Remi was a servant of Ludo, the choice seemed obvious; with a familarity they didn't have, he'd asked the man to come with him on a lengthy hike, after speaking once. Gideon was not one to shy away from a potentially awkward social situation and besides, he had enough to say for both of them to last the whole trip.

Finally, they came to the entrance of a cave system that according to the rough map he had and knowledge he possessed, was their goal. Peering in and seeing the gleaming crystals shine back, Gideon broke into a wide grin and turned to look at Remi. "I think we've found it. I need to gather some crystals - you don't have any idea why Ludo would want me to gather crystals for Safrin, do you? It seemed an odd request to me. Not that I'd question the Gods, of course, but..." He shrugged. Remi might have more of an insight.
