I've turned the world upside down
"Sarah?" Richard inquired, looking between his blushing daughter and the older man who'd been about to kiss her. The man stared back at him, his eyes seeming to see straight through him and into his soul. Sarah blushed almost florecent pink and turned away.
"This is a private workroom. Please leave until you are invited in," Jareth finally said, rather coldly. He was extremely irritated with the man after all.
"Not without my daughter," Richard replied, crossing his arms beligerantly.
"I'll be right out," Sarah tried saying but her dad crossed the room to pull her away right then. Suddenly Jareth was right next to them, his hands clamping down on Sarah's father's arms rather firmly. "We can talk outside," Sarah told Jareth hurriedly, trying to calm them both down. She wasn't sure what her father could do but Jareth was dangerous when irritated. Jareth and Richard glared at each other for what seemed like eternity, until Sarah broke away from both of them and left the room breathing a sigh of relief when they followed her out of the workroom. She didn't know if her father could see past the extensive illusions but she figured it would be best not to test the theory.
Leaving the room, she noticed Karen and Toby glancing at the door from across the room. Shaking her head at them, she looked to the register where three goblins hovered. She nodded back at the room and two of them scurried into the empty room. The remaining goblin turned to the desk behind the register to look at some paperwork.
"May I speak with you in private?" Sarah finally asked, turning around and looking at Jareth. He nodded before Richard could more than open his mouth to protest and she led the way to the door. Outside, night had finally settled all the way in and no one seemed to be on the street. Turning back, she saw her father glaring after her and Jareth through the glass windows. Plenty of light spilled onto the street for him to see her plainly and he appeared unwilling to move from the spot near the workroom door where he could see her best. Sarah sighed and looked at Jareth. He had walked closer to the edge of the light and was staring up into the sky.
"Karen called you a night owl. I laughed, though they didn't get it," Sarah finally said, trying to break the silence. He looked back at her and smiled crookedly making her blush again. "I didn't know what to tell them so I haven't told them anything," Sarah admitted, turning to stare into the store. She saw Hoggle come from the back and look out at her and Jareth. His jaw dropped in surprise and she smiled at him shyly.
"I know," Jareth finally replied emotionlessly from behind her.
"It's just...if I told the truth...and I can't lie," Sarah tried explaining sadly, closing her eyes. She felt him moving behind her and tensed as he placed his hands lightly on her shoulders. When he didn't move any further, she let herself relax a little.
"I know. I was watching you. You don't lie very well," Jareth replied, reminding Sarah of his room with the crystals. She shot a harsh look over her shoulder but he didn't seem to notice. "I wish...," Jareth murmured softly and she listened with bated breath. Suddenly, he shook himself and stepped away from her. "So what will you say?" Jareth asked rather briskly. Sarah thought for a minute, staring at her family.
"What do you want, Jareth? Why are you here?" Sarah finally asked softly.
"I want to earn your love and your hand in marriage," Jareth replied emotionlessly.
"You know that I could never, not after what you did to me, what you are doing to me with these crystals. I have no chance of a normal life now," Sarah told him sadly.
"I've turned the world upside down, and I've done it all for you. What more must I do to prove myself to you?" Jareth asked, his low voice betraying his anguish to Sarah.
