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.

"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.
