Kaye smiled softly to her self as she looked at their intertwined hands as Jareth lead her back to the dining hall, laughter and talking reaching her ears. As they entered she glanced around, her eyes widening slightly. Goblins and smaller ogres were running around, serving the fea that were laughing and drinking. Clothing had started to be loosed or pieces removed as they lounged about or danced around.
"Oh..." Kaye said her face flushing as Jareth pulled her closer to his side.
"Kaye! You made it!" Chance yelled happily as he raised his glass, some of his wine sloshing out. Chase swatted at him before walking over to the couple, handing them both glasses of wine.
"Thank you," Kaye said with a soft smile.
"I'm sorry I got a little upset with you."
Chase waved the apology away.
"If I got upset over something so small I would never be able to work for this kingdom. Do not stress it!" Chase told her with a large smile. Jareth rose an eyebrow as he drank from his glass.
"Come, I would like to introduce you to the Ogre King and Queen," Jareth said, pulling her along. Kaye nodded and went along with him. She felt so amazingly human standing in front of the King and Queen, another King to her side.
"She is quite cute Jareth! You have done well!" The Ogre King boomed with a large smile as he patted his shoulder. Kaye flushed at this as she looked down.
"Ah, and modest too. A could counter to your conceitedness." The Queen added. Jareth rolled his eyes at them as he squeezed Kaye's hand.
"You should go eat," Jareth told her softly. Kaye nodded to him before curtsying to the King and Queen. She quickly latched onto Chase who was not too far off.
"Intimidating aren't they?" He chuckled as they walked over to the dining table that was covered in foods of all kinds. Kaye nodded as she looked over all the different things to eat, her eyes landing on the small beautiful cakes and desserts. She happily took up a plate and placed a few different kinds of sweet upon it.
"I don't know if that wine will work with your sweet tooth." Chance said, taking the red wine from her.
"Oh, I had forgotten about that," Kaye said with a laugh as he placed the glass on a passing tray. They walked over to a small round table, Chance grabbing her a white wine on the way.
"You should have gotten something without sugar as well." Chase told her as he looked over all the sweets she had on her plate before she started to eat them. Kaye's body drooped at the first bite, her feet absently swinging from the deliciousness.
"But this is so good. You should really try it!" She said happily, holding what was left of the small cake out to him. Chase looked at her wide-eyed, a small red tent coming to his cheeks.
"I would love to." Jareth's deep voice interrupted as he leaned over, taking the small bite into his mouth as well as her thumb. Kaye locked eyes with him as he flicked his tongue over the edge of her thumb before pulling his lips along it. He lifted his self back up, running his tongue over his upper lip as he grinned down at her.
"It really is sweet." He said with a wink. Kaye looked back down at her plate, her face burning. As she did this Jareth shot a warning look to the twins, threatening death without having to speak.
"Ah! King Jareth!" An older woman's voice called out, pulling his attention elsewhere.
"Oh, woe is the life of a king," Jareth said, annoyance creeping into his voice. He placed a chaste kiss onto the top of Kaye's hair before walking over to the one that called to him. Kaye silently finished the rest of her cakes as the twins looked anywhere but at her.
"Oh, I love this song." Chance said, sitting up straight in his chair as he looked over to the dance floor.
"Go dance then," Chase told him absently before drinking more of his wine.
"Come dance with me!" Chance said happily, looking bright-eyed at Kaye. She slightly choked on her wine as she looked at him in surprise.
"Dance? I... I don't think I could. I mean, I never have..." She said worriedly as she looked over at the crowd of dancing fae. Chance stood up, a large grin on his face as his brother shot him a warning glare.
"Fairy spit! Come!" He said happily, taking a hold of her hand and pulling her to the dance floor. Kaye looked around as some of the fae moved slightly away from them Chance started to dance causing Kaye to laugh, covering her mouth.
"Come on! You have to move or it's standing not dancing!"
He took a hold of her hands in his and started to move them from side to side as he moved his feet, proving that he had no idea how to dance. But he didn't care, the wine made him brave and gave him the thought that he was amazing. Kaye laughed as she started to move as well, her feet gliding around the floor as she started to sway her hips.
"See! You can dance!" Chance said happily as he held onto one of her hands and spun his self around. Kaye flushed as she noticed as others began to watch her move, some of the fae women trying to dance as she did,
"Chance, I'm really not that good of a dancer. Maybe we should..." She said, her steps faltering.
"Nonsense, you are amazing. You dance like an elf." Jareth said as he came up behind her, placing his hands on her hips. Chance pouted, his mouth opening to respond as Kaye released his hands.
"Dance with me, brother," Chase said as he swooped in, taking his brother in a waltz style and spinning across the floor, causing people to laugh.
"Like an elf?" Kaye asked as Jareth pulled her closer to him, his hips swaying lightly.
"Yes, it's fluid, like silk or moonlight. Only the elf's can dance like that. Maybe you have a touch of elf in you. It would explain so much." Jareth said, nuzzling her neck. Kaye took in a sharp breath at this, noting the smell of wine that surrounded the king.
"Perhaps." Kaye said, pulling her self out of his grasp so she could turn around to look at him. Jareth smiled as he took her hands in his own and began to waltz as well as the twins who were making everyone laugh as they passed. Quickly other couples began to pepper the crowd, everyone moving in an understandable pattern to the waltz-like dance. Kaye laughed as she looked up at Jareth as he led her across and around the floor a smile on his face.
"I'm glad to see you are having fun now." He said before spinning her, pulling her close to him, their bodies flushed.
"Yes, I think I might like dancing quite a bit," Kaye told him, a large smile on her face.
"It's a given. You must have elf blood. We will test this tomorrow." He said, running the pad of his thumb across her bottom lip. Kaye's breath hitched as she looked up into his eyes that seemed clouded with the wine plus a touch of something else. His eyes slowly went to half mast as he lowered his head towards her, his eyes darting to her lips as he got closer. Kaye closed her eyes as she lifted her face towards him, the crowd once again disappearing for her as their lips touched, her heartbeat slamming in her ears drowning out all noise. Jareth pulled her tighter against him, his hands resting on the small of her back as she locked hers behind his neck. They kissed a bit more before the feeling of being watched became too powerful, causing Kaye to pull away. Her face instantly turned bright red before she buried it in Jareth's chest. All the fae folk cheered as Jareth grinned, placing a hand on the back of her head as he looked down at her.
"This is so embarrassing," Kaye mumbled as Jareth let out a laugh, his chest rumbling.
