A/N: The possibility of you reading this is probably very low being that I'm sure you want to know what happens next lol. I know I would probably skip over this and come back to it later to be honest. So I will continue on and speak to you after this chapter.

Kaye stood in shock for a moment, her eyes wide as she looked at Jareth who quickly took in her body with his eyes, not even trying to hide the fact before she screamed. She quickly covered her chest with one arm as she used her hand to cover her lower half, bowing her head so her hair would be a curtain. Jareth quickly shut the door, not saying a word.

"Oh, goddess. I think I'm going to die." Kaye said, curling her arms in on her self as she bent over a little.

"That was not my intention," Jareth called through the door. Kaye glanced up at the wood barrier.

"But you still looked!" She called out to him, anger mixing with her embarrassment.

"Could you blame me?" Jareth asked, laughing. Kaye scowled at the door at his teasing.

"Laughing is not helping!" She yelled at him, it seemed her whole body was a bright shade of red to her.

"It's nice to see you can get angry every once and awhile."

She huffed as she turned back to the bath, turning off the water before she got in.

Once she was finished she had calmed down quite a bit but now that she found herself wrapped in a towel with another around her hair she couldn't go back into the bedroom. She was too embarrassed to face him after that, never mind in nothing but towels. She was trying to think up something to do when there was a soft knock on the door.

"Y-yes?" She asked, not sure what else to do.

"Miss? Are you alright? The King asked me to come help you dress but you've been in there for quite some time." Daisy's voice called through the door. Kaye let out a sigh of relief at the dwarf's voice.

"Thank the gods it's you, Daisy." She said, opening the door with a smile on her face.

"And why would that be?" Jareth's voice asked from behind Daisy. Kaye felt her face flush as she looked up at him, instinctively moving behind the door frame and peaking out at him. He chuckled as he looked at her, his eyes sparkling.

"I just came to drop off that ointment that I mentioned last night. Place it upon your scars every day. It's important you don't forget."

Jareth placed the large blue glass bottle on her makeup stand before walking out of the bedroom, shutting the door behind him.

"What was that all about?" Daisy asked before moving to go get the dress the human woman would wear for the day.

"He saw me naked Daisy!" She confided in the only female she knew there, covering her face with her hands.

"Why is that such a bother? He has seen many naked women, and I'm sure you've been seen naked before." She said without thought, pulling a light green dress out.

"That's not the point! It's so embarrassing to have a man you barely know see you naked. I didn't like someone I was with to see me naked." Kaye said, using the towel on her head to finish drying her hair as she spoke.

"You've allowed me to help you dress." Daisy pointed out as she pulled a royal purple corset out that was embroidered with small green and white flowers.

"But you are female. It's different somehow."

Daisy clicked her tongue as she handed her her undergarments.

"But you slept together. You should be fine with him seeing you."

Kaye felt her face grow hot as she stumbled, almost falling over.

"What? We didn't sleep together! I mean, we were on the same bed... But Draco was between us!" Kaye cried out in earnest as the dwarf woman smiled, helping her get into her clothing before putting the new ointment from Jareth on her legs.

"And where is your dog?" She asked, looking up at her with raise eyebrows. Kaye blinked a few times before she looked about the room.

"I... I'm sure he went out when I woke up with the goblins. They seem to get along so well. But really! Nothing happened last night. Well, between us anyways."

"I heard about the mishap from last night. The men are already in the dining hall coming up with a strategy for finding who did this."

Kaye looked back at the woman as she pulled on the strings for the corset.

"You heard? Does everyone know about what happened?"

Daisy sighed as she finished tying the strings.

"I fear so. The fea women are gossipers to no end, Miss. Are you ready to go out?" She asked, walking to the door. Kaye blanched as she thought about everyone talking about the things that had happened, plus the fact that she had two men in her room all night, one of them being the king.

"I can't go out there," Kaye told her, shaking her head as she went back to her bed, sitting down.

"What? You have to go eat. Stop this nonsense." Daisy scolded her, her eyebrows knitting together in annoyance. Kaye stood her ground against her though, shaking her head once again.

"I don't need to eat. I'll be fine. I'll stay here for the day."

Daisy let out a strong quick rush of air through her nose.

"Fine, I will go get your breakfast for you. But you will go out for lunch. No room for discussion."

Kaye watched as Daisy left the room, closing the door behind her before she went to the large window in the room. There were pillows piled up in the large sill so she pulled her self up onto it, pulling her knees to her chest as she gazed out to the gardens then the labyrinth beyond that. All the thoughts ran through her head from what happened the night before, then the conversation she had had with Jareth after that. Then the embarrassing incident from this morning. She put her hands to her face as she felt them warm up again at the memory of Jareth boldly looking her body over.

/././././././.

Jareth looked up from the map that he and his men were looking at as Daisy walked into the room, walking over to the table where the breakfast foods were placed about. His brow knitted together in confusion as he watched the dwarf prepare a plate of food, grabbing toast and fruit.

"Rose, where is Kaye?" He asked, ignoring the men. They all looked at each other, shrugging in indifference or scoffing in annoyance.

"It's Daisy sire. And she is in her room. She isn't feeling well and asked me to gather her breakfast for her." The woman answered him as she poured a glass of orange juice.

"Isn't feeling well?" Jareth and Chance asked at the same time before shooting a glare at each other as Chase sighed.

"It's nothing. Just nerves. She will be fine by this afternoon."

Some of the men laughed at this.

"Women, sire, they are the weaker of us." One of his men told him, his smile hidden behind his beard but his black eye were shinning in humor. Daisy's eyes flashed as she turned to the group of taller men.

"She is not weaker than you! She is feeling shaken up after being attack among other things. You would be as well!" Daisy snapped at them, feeling extremely protective of the young woman for some reason.

"Sire, if you'll excuse me." She said with a bow to the king before storming out of the room. The men blinked a few times as they watched her leave.

"You have brave servants sire, perhaps you should teach her a lesson. Talking to fea the way she did." One of the men said, shaking his head.

"She was protecting her lady. As she should. And I would mind you, that when you say things as you did. You are speaking of my guest." Jareth told them, his voice low. The men quickly apologized, bowing to him slightly.

"Now, back to what we were discussing."
