Toby,
Continue to persevere. Magic takes time and practice. It will come.
All things change and you will often have to relearn what you have learned. Fortunately, in the Underground they tend to change very slowly.
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am not currently able to come within a good mile of your sister. Much as I would like to teach her the ways of magic as I am with you, to prevent her from doing herself harm if nothing else, it is not possible. And besides, I was under the impression that you had not informed her of our little... arrangement.
I have a feeling that I will see you Monday, one way or another.
His Royal Majesty,
The Goblin King
PS- See that shiny pink patchy of funny, scaly skin in the center of your forehead? Your mother probably thinks you've developed some sort of rash, doesn't she? She's wrong. That's a warning. It will stay that way for a week. Insult your instructor again and they really will call you Unicorn Boy. ):-)

To the scoundrel Sarah,
Yes, your brother has spoken with me at length. We often exchange multiple emails each day. He, unlike someone I know, is honest with me. He lets me know how he truly feels. He does not lead me on and call me friend and then laugh at me behind my back.
I am hurt to the very core of my being. Unfortunately, unlike traditional correspondence, I cannot let my bitter tears stain the page, so please accept these as a substitute.

Heartbroken,
Jareth
King of the Goblins
PS- Bitter, bitter tears, Sarah.

Jareth,
What in the world are you talking about?? Scoundrel? How… how could you call me that? I don't understand!
I have never lied to you. There are some things I don't say because they're personal, but I've never lied. In fact, I'm more open and honest with you than I am with most people. And I… I do tell you how I feel, when it comes up. I can't tell you how I feel about every single thing, because that's just physically impossible and not always very… proper. And… good heavens, some things would make our conversations very… awkward.
I never led you on about anything! I don't laugh at you behind your back… why in the world would I do that?? To what purpose? Jareth! I… I'm so confused! What's happened? Tell me, please! I… you are my friend, and I care about you, now…
I… I suppose I could be more forward about my… feelings… if you really want me to be.
Bitter tears? Oh you… oh, come on. Jareth, would you please save the drama and tell me how I've, apparently, wronged you? You know I would never…
How did I break your heart?? Oh Jareth… please tell me. If I hurt you… I'm so sorry, for whatever I've done that was so offensive in your eyes.
Dejected,
Sarah

Troink! I need your help!
I need you to look in on something, if you can do it. If it looks like you're going to get kicked or hurt or thrown out a window, then don't do it, because I don't want you to get hurt, okay? Only if it's safe.
I need you to check on your King, because I need to know two things.
First, I need to know if he looks really, truly upset. He sent me an email and it… it looks like I upset him, but he didn't tell me why. Part of me is afraid to trust him when he gets so… when he uses so many big words like that, and I want to know if he really is as hurt and upset as he says. I really think he is, but…. I need to be sure.
Second, if you can, see if you can find out why. What did I do to make him so upset? Don't let him know I want to know, and that I asked you. Be sneaky about it. I want to know so I can make it better. If you can do this for me Troink, and don't let the King know I asked you to do it, I will have a chocolate brownie for you, very yummy and squishy, at game night, and I'll even ignore it if you break rule number six.
Thank you very much, and lots of love,
Sarah

Jareth,
Alright. I've been practicising when no ones around. Well, I was doing it before and Cluckers got hurt...his tail caught on fire. No, I wasn't doing magic. I was focussing on the flame from the match like you said to maybe do, and he jumped across. He's fine now.
My finger doesnt hurt so much though. A little but not a lot. I think thats might have to do with the meditation.
Are you going to explain why you can't? Oh, wait a second - is it because of Sarah beating you? And 'the words'? (No I'm not insulting you. Really. Just curious.) Ive not told Sarah. Havent heard from her since before I started emailing you...
Mom won some weekly movie ticket thing, so Im stuck with Ole Mickey. You didnt have something to do with that, did you?
And my forehead itches! A week? It's awful it's so...sparkly! Ew. Gross. Cant it come off sooner? I really wasnt insulting you. I was just stating a fact. Ask Sarah! (If youre emailing her.)
Please can you get it off? Please oh poweful, masteful, and masculine Instructor?
From, Toby
