Prompt: "Missing"


"…and den I waz left like dees!" finished the aggrieved bird.

Jareth surveyed the bird's head, now firmly attached to the Wiseman's hat. "Yet you admit you willingly participated in the strip poker party with the Fireys?"

The bird had the grace to look abashed. "But strip poker means clothes!"

Jareth raised his eyebrows. "Does it?"

"What am I supposed to do? I can't stay like dees!" The bird rolled its eyes meaningfully at the Wiseman. "I'll go crazy!"

Jareth's lips twitched in a half-smile. "I suggest you become accustomed to your new position until you get better at cards."
