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.

In reality, he was probably taking slightly more time with the food than he needed to. But it gave his hands something to do, and in his mind, made it less obvious that he was staring at her. He had no idea he'd been found out, though he did wonder why the color rose in her cheeks. For just a second there, he'd almost thought she'd seen... but she didn't seem to have, or at least, he wasn't sure.

"All mine, are you?" He flashed her an amused look, perhaps slightly more longing than was strictly appropriate, and then finally lowered his eyes to his food. It was incredible, as was everything that he'd tried here. The surroundings might be strictly bland, but the food was amazing. "Well, how about that."

Of course, he had no idea what to do. In his own realm, he'd been a king, and had kept busy that way. Here, he was just another of the denizens of this strange place, and he had none of the tasks to do. He had occupied a significant portion of the last couple of days with exploring, but the resort simply wasn't that big. Well, at least he could show her around. That could take days, really. There were worse prospects, than to spend days with this girl.

"I had not made plans either, so it would seem I am all yours, as well." There was a bit of an extra depth to that statement, but he didn't call attention to it.
