"Who was that smoke guy?" May asked as she removed her sheep mask and threw it nearly halfway across the room. "What's his deal!?"
Jareth picked up the discarded mask and placed it on a nearby shelf. "Lord Damasio, he's the King of reapers. A real killjoy."
"Can you do that thing too?" The girl asked with sincerity.
"What thing did you have in mind?" Jareth asked getting a little too close to May. She placed her hand over his face and pushed him aside.
"The smoke and mirror trick." She explained while moving her hand in front of her face.
"No, that's something only he can do. All of us Fae have special powers, some we share, others are unique." Jareth said while attempting to get close to the girl again. She probably would have pushed him again if she wasn't so deep in thought. "Something the matter?" he asked while running his hand through her hair.
"Do you think he can control it?" She asked. Jareth was starting to regret taking her somewhere outside of his labyrinth. Here he was trying to be intimate, and she was ignoring him while asking questions about someone else.
"Must we talk about Damasio?" the goblin king asked.
"No. we could talk about Hoggle and the rest of friends here." She smirked while taking a few steps back, so she was now out of arms length.
"You know, that I can't just let them go."
"Why not?"
"It wouldn't change anything."
"You won't know unless you try."
"I know that if they are released, you'll leave the castle. Or worse, they'd move in." Jareth was surprised that May smiled after he spoke.
"How about a deal?" She asked.
"I get to set the terms though." Jareth stated.
"Of course. I want my friends to be freed."
"I will release your friends, on the conditions that you will continue to live in this castle, you will not attack or correct someone if they refer to you as my Queen, and you will tell me how you knew so much about this place." Jareth said while extending his hand out to the woman. May gritted her teeth, he was asking for a lot.
"Fine." She grumbled while taking his hand. "It's a deal." Jareth smile and pulled her hand so that she fell forward. He caught her and lifted her head, her murderous eyes had returned.
"How I've missed this expression, my queen." he said before leaning over to kiss her. He was surprised that she kept her side of the deal and didn't try anything. He slowly pulled away from her to see her smirk.
"I hate you most of all, my king." She said while staring into his eyes. His heart sank until he heard her "my king". She turned and started to walk away, "Let's go free my friends."
