Kaye stood outside the dining hall, she could hear everyone already chatting happily amongst themselves. Daisy had told her many times over that everything would be fine as she dressed her in a silver dress and deep blue corset. Daisy had curled her hair, pinning it up but leaving one lock to fall across her shoulder before applying light makeup to bring out Kaye's eyes and lips. Kaye had felt beautiful as she looked at her self. She never really wore makeup or had her hair done before. She almost cried as she hugged the surprised dwarf, thanking her. But now as she stood, building up the courage to go inside, she felt as though she was trying to be something she wasn't. Finally, the thought that having them wait for her was rude won out and she quietly entered, looking around. She felt her face heat up as everyone turned to look at her. They were all dresses beautifully, covered in fine jewels and clothing. Kaye suddenly felt very plain in comparison to them. She nodded to them all before moving off to the back of the group. They all started talking again, someone would glance over at her, but that would be about it. After a few moments, two young men walked over to her, large grins on their faces. They both were dressed in black military-style uniforms. Their sandy brown hair was shaggy and fell across their eyes.

"Hi!" They said in unison as they stood in front of her.

"Hello," Kaye said, slightly surprised by their abruptness.

"I'm Chance, and this is Chase." The one with black eyes said, still smiling.

"We couldn't just stand around and gossip about you like the rest," Chase said, green eyes sparkling.

"Really boring."

"Agreed brother."

Chase put his arm around his brothers' shoulders.

"Well, I'm Kaye. It's nice to meet both of you." She said, a smile lighting up her face.

"Wow! Look at that!" Chance called out, leaning towards her.

"What a smile. It's been decided," Chase said with a nod, taking one of her hands in his.

"We shall do all we can." Chance continued, taking the other.

"To make you smile." They spoke together, kissing her knuckles. Kaye's face turned bright red as she looked down at them. At this, a strong wind rushed through the room quickly.

"Oh dear," Kaye mumbled, looking over towards the door to see Jareth standing there, staring straight at her. Everyone turned and bowed to him, calling out greetings. Jareth walked over to the small group, not responding to his subjects.

"Ah, the Duro brothers. I see you've met Miss. Sawyer." He said, stopping in front of them, his eyes flashing between the three.

"Yes, sire. She seemed lonely on her own." Chance spoke for them. Kaye noticed quickly that he must be the stronger of the two as Chase stayed quite.

"How kind of you."

Jareth turned his full attention to the twin. Everyone tried to keep their conversations going and listen at the same time.

"Well she doesn't know anyone here, I thought it would be quite rude to leave her alone amongst the wolfs here. Sire."

Kaye's eyes widened at this, she could tell when someone was antagonizing another and this is just what this man was doing to the king in front of everyone. Chase placed his hand on his brother's shoulder, stepping up behind him.

"Perhaps we should head over to the table brother. I believe it is almost time for dinner." He said calmly, smiling at the two men.

"Excuse me, Sire," Sniggle said as he walked over to them. Jareth's eyes flashed over to him causing him to flinch.

"Speak." Jareth snapped, not turning from Chance.

"Diner's ready. Uh, Diner is ready, Sire." He said, nodding his head slightly as he said the word is. Kaye smiled sweetly down at him, causing him to beam up at her.

"Thank you Sniggle. Shall we Sire, gentlemen?" Kaye asked, trying to break up the tension. Jareth glanced over at her before he just headed over to the table, not saying a word. Chase grinned down at her as Chance huffed.

"Thank you, Miss. Sawyer. Sometimes my brother doesn't know when to keep his thoughts to his self." Chase said as they followed slowly behind everyone.

"I didn't say anything wrong, Chase." Chance grumbled, causing Kaye to giggle slightly, covering her mouth with her hand.

"I'm not really sure how I should respond to this." She said, smiling.

"Kaye." Jareth called out, causing everyone to turn and look at her. She felt her face burn as the smile fell off her face. She heard Chance huff once again at this but did not respond to him as his brother elbowed him.

"Yes, Jareth?" She asked softly causing everyone to shoot looks to each other or gasp slightly as she used his first name.

"You will be sitting next to me." He said as he sat at the head of the table. Kaye nodded as she headed over to where he was, moving to sit in the right chair.

"No, the one to my left."

Kaye's brow furrowed at this, not understanding what the difference was but quickly moved and went to sit there instead. Everyone started whispering amongst themselves at this. Normally the queen would sit to the left of a king, Kaye did not know this but all the Fae folk did. Jareth was currently in a staring match with Chance as she sat down in the chair, placing her napkin across her lap.

"Oh, I hope you don't mind me sitting here." A female voice called out as she came up to the side of Kaye, a large fake grin plastered on her face. Kaye looked up to see Miss. Kamar pulling out the chair next to her to sit down.

"I have no right to be bothered Miss. Kamar." Kaye answered to her, giving her a small polite smile in return. At this, everyone else started to sit themselves as well, the Duro brothers sat across from Kaye, a little down the table as all of Miss. Kamar's friends placed themselves around the king and their friend.

"Oh please, call me by my first name. Swarna." She said, extending her tan hand.

"Oh, well nice to finally meet you Swarna. You can use my first name also." Kaye took the woman's hand, firmly shaking it before placing her hand back in her lap. Conversations stopped as the food was brought out by dwarfs, as everyone started on the second course they began speaking again.

"How are you enjoying the meal so far Kaye?" Jareth asked, glancing over at her as he sipped the creamy soup from his spoon. Kaye placed her hand over her mouth as she quickly swallowed the soup.

"It delicious." She answered with a large smile. A small smile tugged at the corner of Jareth's lips before he took another spoon full of soup.

"In the Abovegroud you mustn't be use to this kind of thing, right?" Swarna asked, the fake smile placed back on her face as she tried to pull Kaye away from Jareth. Kaye blinked as she looked over at the other woman.

"Not really, no. Normally we would have just one dish, everything placed on one plate you know. That's how I would make dinner any ways." Kaye stated, everyone looking over at her.

"You prepared the meals your self?"

Kaye flushed slightly as the other young women giggled.

"I think that's amazing! A woman that can take care of her self with out help is strong in my eyes." Chance said, smiling brightly at her.

"I wouldn't say I was that strong." Kaye answered meekly, glancing at Jareth as she did so. Swarna caught this, glancing over at her friends to see that they had also.

"What? Did you make some sort of wish to be saved from your mundane life?" She asked, laughing, causing all of her friends to laugh as well. Kaye felt her face burn as she looked down into her soup.

"What she wished to be brought here, Swarna, is between her and the King." Chance spoke slowly, his hands shaking slightly from his anger. Chase let out a forced laugh as he turned and smiled at Kaye.

"On a different note. How are you liking the Kingdom so far?" Chase asked, his eyebrow twitching as his brother and Swarna shot daggers at each other.

"Um... I've only been here for a day. So I haven't seen much to be honest. Though what I have seen is very nice! I can't wait to see more." Kaye said with a smile at Chase who gave her a true smile this time around.

"Perhaps I can take you around the grounds after dinner then." Jareth said softly, pulling her attention back to him. He currently had his hands folded in front of his face as his elbows rested on the table, his nose just above his hands. His eyes were locked on to her, not paying any attention to the conversations or argument in one case. Kaye felt a slight blush tent her cheeks as she locked eyes with him.

"I would like that." She answered, just as softly, a smile tugging at her lips. Jareth smiled behind his hands at this. He hadn't thought it would have been so easy to get her to smile for him. He had been extremely upset when he herd the twins make the same vow he had to his self about making her smile. And when he had seen her smile at them, he thought he was going to snap and kill them. But what the older twin had said made sense. He shouldn't have left her to fend for her self amongst all the fae folk. But he would never admit his fault. But there was no need for him to dwell on that, she had agreed to walk with him after dinner and had gotten her to smile lightly.

Kaye continued to look at Jareth until someone took her bowl and placed the next course in front of her, drawing away her attention as she thanked them. She wished greatly that he hadn't been blocking his mouth with his hands when he had asked her his question. She had seen the corners of his eyes tilt up in what she knew was a smile but she couldn't see it. But asking him to move his hands would have been far to embarrassing. She didn't know him well enough yet to ask him such things. Never less the fact that he was a king.

"Oh, that would be fabulous! We should all go into the gardens. Perhaps we could play some sort of game." Swarna said, grinning as she glanced around the table, causing everyone to agree. Jareths eyes flashed at this, he had wanted to be alone with the woman, he had yet to have a true moment with just the two of them.

"I think that might be fun. Maybe a scavenger hunt." Kaye offered up. Everyone looked at her, slightly surprised at the fact that she agreed with Swarna.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea. Perhaps teams of two?" Jareth asked her, his eyes shinning with mischief at the plan that was running through his mind.

"Yes, perhaps Kaye and-" Chance started but was cut off by Jareth shooting him a look of pure death.

"Yes, Kaye and I shall make up a group." Jareth finished.

"That sounds wonderful." Kaye said, trying to stop a fight from happening.

"A two person teamed scavenger hunt it is." Swarna said, trying to come up with a plan.

Well, readers, what do you think? Please review and tell me so I know if what I'm doing is silly or not XD I need to have an antagonist and you know you like to have someone to hate when you are reading something but I'm not sure what I am going to do with the twins yet. I'm still on the fence with it. But I hate Swarna and already have a plan for her. Either way! Love you all and thank you for reading! Blessed Be!
