Although he'd lived for more years than humans had even existed for, he'd never had a day like the one he'd had yesterday. It seemed there were a lot of 'nevers' going on in his life recently, actually. He'd never been kidnapped before, only now Mirage had changed that. He'd never been bowling before... and he chose not to think much about that, But above all, he'd never had coffee with his nemesis, and had never expected to. Even kings who had been alive for thousands of years don't know everything, apparently.

Though no one would have known it simply by looking at him, he was still hashing the whole thing over in his mind. What had happened, and why? In the end, though, he'd been able to come to only one conclusion. He wasn't exactly sure the why and how of it all, but he was sure of one thing. He hadn't hated anything that had happened, no matter how awkward it had been. Perhaps that was enough.

He'd gone back to his room after the odd chat with Sarah, and been there ever since, thinking it through. Now, however, it was time to get out of there. So he left the room that was the spitting image of his throne room in the Castle at the center of the Labyrinth, after dressing in his more typcial Fae style. Jeremy, it would seem, was not an everyday sort of thing here. And he was much more comfortable in the outlandish, romantic clothing he favored. Mortal clothing was so strange.

The king didn't have any particular plans, he just didn't want to spend any more time in his room. So, thinking he would perhaps take a walk (and just happen to stroll past Sarah's room), he turned the doorknob and stepped out his door into the hallway beyond it.

For a long moment there was nothing for her to do as he overwhelmed her senses from every angle. The assault was so perfect that she only wanted to surrender herself entirely into his hands. Her heart fluttered as he kissed her, no claimed her mouth and she could feel that it was exactly as he'd said. Desire. And it wasn't one-sided, she was returning his kiss, her eyes closed tight, clinging to him so closely that she felt the line between them might begin to blur.

Which is when she pulled back. It was a bit abrupt, she knew, but her head was beginning to get fuzzy and she wasn't sure this was a good thing for them to be doing so quickly after everything that had passed between them before. She wanted this. That was clear in the way her cheeks flushed prettily, giving her a very healthy glow to her skin. But it could just be an amalgamation of the intensity they had felt before they'd called a truce.

"I-I'm sorry. I just need to clear my head. I-" she stopped and took a deep breath. Then she smiled at him.

Jareth could feel her giving herself over, surrendering, and it was different than normal because he felt like he was, too, only to her. But somehow, he didn't mind this, when he should have been railing with all the strength in his body against it. But instead he gave himself to the sensation, and to her touch.

He was, therefore, completely unprepared when she pulled away. He looked at her with a question in his oddly-colored eyes, wondering why she would have done such a thing. He'd been able to feel the tension between them, the heat, and one look at her glowing face told him that he wasn't imagining it. But when he searched her eyes, he nodded slowly.

"Too soon." He could understand that, if he were honest. Not like it, of course, but at least understand it. Once more, he reached for her, but only to take her arm once more. "I think it's time to see about getting some of that food we were talking about before."

It was frustrating to her -- more frustration! -- that it should feel "too soon" to her to be here with him in this moment. But there it was and you couldn't rush things or they turned out all... Jack and Sarah. Rings in envelopes and love left on the back burner. She so didn't want sympathy from Jareth in the manner Jack had given it to her.

She looked distracted as she gazed up at Jareth, as he took her arm again in such a formal way. She felt sorry for the way they had parted. It had felt so... well that was for another time. Her actions had begun it and his words had sealed it and they were on for breakfast again as if noting remotely serious had happened.

"Um, yes, food would be a good idea. Thank you." She looked at him with eyes green and intense, to convey importance to him. "Thank you. Jack never would've -" And she sighed at her own stupidity and hoped he'd ignore it.

Jareth was more or less resigned. Yes, he'd kidnapped people, but he'd never tried to force them into anything sexual. Even he had limits, and he had had these limits even before he'd almost died. Probably many people would be surprised to know that, but it was true nevertheless.

But all such thoughts drained away as she said a name. A male name. What had he expected, that she would have had no experience? But it had only been a few days for him since she'd been 15, and he hadn't had a chance yet to think about such things. He stopped dead in his tracks, and then, realizing what he was doing, started walking again.

In an elaborately casual tone, and without looking at her, he spoke. "Who is Jack?" But the tone probably wouldn't fool anyone, at least anyone who was looking at his face. It was composed enough, but his eyes were filled with raging emotions.

"Jack?" she said as though she almost didn't remember having brought him up. Though she knew she had. It had been automatic. She realized now that she had compared everyone to Jareth when she'd been home. That must've been why all the therapists had thought sessions with mirrors in which she renounced her own features that reflected him would help her.

Still, Jack had been no one. Well. Compared to Jareth. Jack had been a pretender. "Jack was someone who wanted to marry me. He was a part of one of my group therapies. A physician's assistant who... well he made it pretty obvious that I was his special case for the year. He was supposed to be my knight in shining armor. Until I nearly -"

Well that was enough. No sense bringing more of that darkness forward into the presence.

"Nevermind. I'm starving," she said good-naturedly forgetting the last few minutes even though she really didn't want to.
