Sett appreciated the thanks given him by Jezebeth, and her unique plight was certainly intriguing even given his usually-blasé approach to godly matters (or was that her appearance associating itself with the matter?), though for the time being he'd probably think back to it as and when the opportunity came by again. For now, An-Hasst's question about who wanted to fight the dragon was foremost in his mind, and he had more to add to what he'd already said. Not that the old hermit and younger mage didn't make convincing arguments themselves, but as had already been stated, a dragon's wrath was not a particular time limit compared to that of whatever would happen if the Dark Elves succeeded.

'I reiterate that we can probably handle the Dragon after we've dealt with the Dark Elves,' he mentioned lightly to the group, still in the guise of "helpful priest", 'and that if the two choices are connected as Mr. Ursaren suggests, it may be that handling the Dark Elves' plots would calm the more threatening option beyond the need to deal with a Dragon directly.' Assuming, of course, that they were connected, but again, the hedge mage's own words could work against him if that was brought up: "an assumption is an assumption unless investigated", as he claimed, so why not investigate the less dangerous assumption first? Then they'd live longer.

Not that it mattered either way, because now the Wood Elves were bringing out horses. And what fine beasts they were, stronger yet more lithe than any horse he'd seen in Vrettonia to date. Not that he'd seen many horses in his location... nonetheless, the party was seemingly intended to ride upon them, and that provided Sett with a bit of a problem. 'I admit, I have not been trained to ride a horse,' he admitted, feigning mild embarrassment with lowered eyes and fidgeting hands, 'never mind any horse without saddle or bridle. And, well, I worry that I'd hold the rest of our party back if I were to take my own...' The intimation that he'd need to share with somebody else was, he hoped, self-evident. If he was lucky, maybe his assistance with Lady Jezebeth's armour would even have gotten him in on riding with her, and oh, what a treat that'd be.
