Toby gasped quietly when Claire reminded him of the rules. So this was the bad man that Sarah had warned him about then.
Part of him bristled about what Jareth said about him, but for Sarah's sake he resisted. How was he supposed to get away? He couldn't just leave Claire to fight this man by herself. That wasn't something that Peter would do, and Toby constantly found himself wondering what his favorite superhero would do. There were worse role models for an eleven year old, and perhaps better ones too, but Toby wouldn't be persuaded.
Instead of running, he peaked his head out a bit further from behind Claire and glared at the Goblin King.
