Rick, on the other hand, was having problems of his own.

While it was true that he WAS surrounded by goblins. There was very little to nothing that was miniature, fuzzy or cute about them.

"This is looking more like Lord of the Rings, than a Jim Henson production." He whispered with (some) worry and awe.

"Well, this IS in fact a monarchy that rules over goblins. Naturally, it is a dangerous, forbidding place." Jareth answers from slightly behind him.

"Holy Teleportation, Batman!" Rick yells in surprise, followed by "THAT is Soooooo AWESOME!"

Jareth narrows his eyes at him for a full second.

Feminine laughter begins to echo through the halls.

"I'm glad you find this amusing, precious." Jareth says, to the woman approaching them. "Richard Castle, allow me to introduce my wife, Sarah."

This, of course, effectively disrupts his observation of Jareth, and totally shifts Rick's inner fanboy into overdrive.

"Sarah? As in, 'You have no Power over me' Sarah? (Jareth rolls his eyes in the background) You guys ENDED UP Together?! I SO SHIP YOU GUYS! I Totally have to tweet this! Wait. Does the underground have access to Twitter?"

Jareth looks at Sarah, as he starts rubbing at his temples. Sarah just laughs.

"I'm sorry. My husband hates that line. Yes, that's me. It's nice to meet you, Mr. Castle. And no. There is no twitter here." Sarah answers, as she holds out a hand to shake Rick's.

"Please call me Rick, and may I say, it is SUCH a pleasure to meet you!" he leans close to her and whispers, "It's the pants, isn't it? The pants had power over you."

Jareth smirks.

"He's been impossible, ever since." Sarah mumbles.

Rick smiles charmingly. "So it wasn't the whole 'As the World Falls Down' serenade, and the ball he threw for you, and the dresses? I mean, he WAS very generous."

Sarah quirks an eyebrow at him. "I'm beginning to see why Kate wished you away."

"I'm growing slightly fonder of him, I must say." Jareth mentions.

"Just give me a chance!" Rick cajoles. "I'm a very likable person-wait. She WISHED ME AWAY?!"

"Here." Jareth tosses him a crystal. "You can watch her progress using that."

Rick stares into the crystal, just as Kate watches a familiar, dark-skinned woman, wearing what should have been Hoggle's outfit, hack a fairy dead, with a rather hefty axe. Not to mention the fairy in question was neither small nor cute. Sure, it was lovely, but it's eyes were almond-shaped and completely black and glittered with undisguised malice, had long, sharp nails, sharklike teeth, and was the size of a teenager. One that was wearing too much makeup and probably high on drugs.

Sarah looks at Jareth.

"Was that to be kind or cruel?" She asked.

"Both. The man should learn some measure of restraint and awareness, lest she wish him away again."

They walk into the main Throne room, leaving Rick to it.
