The crackle of electricity makes him freeze, ever so briefly, and he'd really like to throw up a shield. Unfortunately the boy looks like he's on a hair trigger, and Horvath is experienced enough to realize even a defensive move might set him off. Besides, if worst comes to worst he can handle at least one blast, even if he'll be sore for it tomorrow.
He does finish reaching for whatever's behind him, which turns out to be a cane, but not the familiar straight one with his talisman set in the end- that's in a ring now, one his right hand. This cane has a silver dragon head that faintly echoes Merlin's ring, and once he has it in hand he leans on it a little, but stays put.
In a low, frustrated, weary voice he says, "I think you have me mistaken for a Morganian. I'm not what you think I am."
