Coffee, lord of the idiots...bow down to her!
Restlessly, she shoved the furry cloak away from her body, and took hold of her fallen sign. She glanced around the dark woods, eyes wide, trying to locate an escape that did not involve falling through things as she had been doing for duration of her time. Pieces of glistening shards were scattered on the ground near a lone vine, near a tall tree. Still terrified, she stepped away from it as if they’d burn her, and threw the robe over her tiny form once more as a last defense. The dull sound of snapping twigs and the cracks of glass had alarmed her of a presence not too far from her trembling figure.
“You smell weird.” She muttered, curling up into a ball underneath all the fur.
Amusement won him over, earning her a little kindness from him (his patience), as he waited for her to poke her head out into the open for a proper conversation that did not include the muffling of voices. It was clear he had all the time in the world just in the way he leaned collectedly against the rough-to-the-touch tree. His thin lips curled into a conceited smirk the moment she dared to pop her head out from underneath.
“Hi, Poofy.” She greeted, wiggling her fingers fearfully.
He, on the other hand, had plenty reason to be angry, but he had decided against it. He wasn’t in the mood—his cloak may have been ruined by the dirt—did it matter? He opened his mouth to speak…nothing came out….since she had retreated to the safety of her hiding place.
“It isn’t nice to hide when someone is talking to you, Tiffany.” He uttered.
“I would love to continue our conversation, but I’m allergic to insane people…” She said, snuggling against the softness of the cloth. “How did you know my real name? Stalking me? HAH!"
He noticed the lump of his cloak was lessening. Was she trying to escape?
“I think I found another opening! So long, LORD OF THE HOBOS!" She cackled, allowing the ground to eat her away and spit her back into the Labyrinth.
Jareth cleverly snatched up the cloak, with her inside it.
“Did you read plastic bag labels as a kid? I’m SUFFOCATING!" She screamed, kicking against the soft barrier as hard as she could.
"You'll live, dear." He said smugly.
"I'm CLUSTERPHLOBIC!" She screeched.
"You mean clusterphobic." He corrected.
“What a pity…” He said, feigning a sigh.
