Well, at the end of my post, Eliesmier went ahead and dropped her in front of his lair (perhaps I should've elaborated more >.<), on the opening area outside of his cave, on the side of the mountain. The area that he'd land and take off from. 

So he dropped both her and the horse because he's home, and he's about to land himself.

Gah!
I should've elaborated more, yeah.
