How about respect for his destiny? Sethra seems to share a deep concern 
about Vlad's safety (suggesting that he come to Dzur Mountain in the 
first place, then suggesting that herself or Morrolan accompany Vlad as 
a bodyguard) but he brushes off the offer. Sethra lets it slide; but I 
suspect her motives for this are not are simple as they appear.

Sethra knows (or at least we know she believes) that Vlad has a destiny; 
and also that he is armed with a Great Weapon linking him to that 
destiny. We know that Godslayer is purported to be as powerful as 
Iceflame, Blackwand, or the Imperial Orb. I really doubt she wants to 
push any kind of confrontation with Vlad at this point unless she 
absolutely has to.

One of the key turning points in /Hawk/ is that I think she has started 
to realize that one day, possibly soon, she may very well have to do 
exactly that. We've gotten a hint at what /her/ destiny may be.
