The world of humans was strange compared to his own kingdom. Jareth had spent small amounts of time in it although he'd never had a reason to stay there. It had always been just the time it took to take someone's child and offer them the chance to go retrieve it. Most of the time, it had provided him with limitless amounts of entertainment and more goblins to add to the population of his kingdom. There was a balance between what he kept and the ones that went back. He would try to tip the scales on occassion, but all in all Jareth stuck to his own rules. If a person could solve the labyrinth within the thirteen hours, he would return their child.
The biggest exception had been Sarah and her brother Toby. While there was something about the girl that brought out a side in Jareth that he'd rarely shown, it was the boy who'd made him think of other possibilities. Shaking them from his mind, he stepped into the city and glanced around. The destruction reminded him of what had remained of his castle after Sarah's refusal had torn it apart.
Maybe this would be an interesting place...
