'Ah, well now,' the priest chortled, continuing to eye up the seemingly-unaware guardsman, 'the elves have many mysterious magicks to hand! Perhaps they are godblessed, if they can create cities this beautiful. And I certainly wouldn't doubt that they could make these bags-' he lifted his own as an example. '-all but impervious to harm! As for the Guarden juice, well, I'm sure those fruits are considered quite valuable in their culture, but then why wouldn't they be, when-'

'So Settionne was it? I am very glad we have a thief in our party-'

Settionne's reaction to being called out was to blink, an indication of surprise that few would recognise for what it was, and then turn to the questioner with a steadily-intensifying look halfway between shock and offense as the man continued to talk: '-what manner of thievery is your specialty? We all really should know each other’s strengths before we face our foes don’t you think?' Many other men would be at an impasse at this stage; fortunately, Sett the Inconsiderate had an alibi... or half of one, which he could build up to...

'Sssir!' Settionne exclaimed in a relatively soft yet notably outraged voice, sure to draw just enough attention to be interesting. 'How [i]could[/i] you accuse me of such [i]low[/i] standards? I'll have you know, since you've asked,' he continued, raising a finger as if to further make a point, 'that I am a [i]priest[/i] of the [i]gods![/i]' A specific god, but he didn't need to know that. 'They command me, and I obey their will. That is all there is to it! Honestly, you'd think the world's faith was vanishing with how few people recognise a holy man when they see one... and you haven't even taken the time to introduce yourself to me, either. Goodness gracious.' If all went well, this individual would now be marked out in people's heads as somebody to watch out for, which in turn would draw attention away from Sett's proper calling. He hadn't planned on doing so to begin with, but perhaps he might bless the others in the group as well, to prove a point.
