Welcome to Gaia! ::

Jareth sighed again, he really wasn't in the mood for this. "Well it certainly is mindless." he mumbled, there was warmth of sorts in the comment, although it was very hard to spot.

"Might I see where you're staying now?" he enquired after a rather long pause. On the inside he had a bit of a soft spot for the unigon, and didn't wish him any real harm or unhappiness. If the conditions Macy was living in were unsuitable he'd have to make some changes.

Jareth smiled "Only for the time being." he replied gently. The apartment was actually a lot nicer than he expected. Although is was small it looked fairly comfortable, although he could imagine the noise from the nightclub below being a problem.

"Ah, ingenious." said the Goblin King with a nod. "And I'll have some tea thank you, no milk no sugar." he never understood why people put milk in boiling water, it all seemed rather disgusting to him but he also found herbal teas very appealing.
He eyed Macy from the other end of the kitchen. "And is the food here to your liking?" he asked in an attempt to make small talk.

"That looks fine, thank you" said the Goblin King with a quiet laugh. "I seem to recall that you were always rather fussy back home, some things never change, although you look like you're coping well."

Jareth smiled graciously and took a careful sip from the mug.

"It can't be that bad, surely." he replied, a small smirk upon his lips. "Better than the dampness of the castle I bet."

"I let you cone home on holidays." Jareth protested, although there was no pleasing the Unigon so it was a tired and halfhearted protest as he sipped his tea. "When you're with me you want to leave and when you're away you want to come back. It hurts me to see you so unhappy but unless you can miraculously figure out what does make you happy then I'm afraid I can't help. Just think about that before you resort to petty and meaningless insults."

"Caspian? When did that happen?" said Jareth looking slightly startled and also relieved that he wouldn't have to explain his feelings if he managed to deviate from the question. Although in all fairness and though he would never ever ever admit it out loud, he trusted the Pirate King with his rare ward a lot more than any other courtier he knew. "And I'm afraid I have no control over how often Lord Aurelius is in court. He comes and goes as he pleases and I very much doubt that my invitation would change anything in his behaviour." he smiled briefly, it sounded like an interesting friendship indeed. "But if he comes to visit you, then I see no problems."

Jareth shrugged slightly, he felt slightly jealous that his estranged relative had managed to accheive a friendship with the Unigon, while all he had gotten so far was a grudgingly civil conversation or two. not to mention the fact that he had alway secretly envied Caspian's freedom to go anywhere he wanted without paying attention to the consequences. He had never managed this, consequences always wanted to come back and bite him in the royal backside. Like Macy for instance, he had promised his mother, one of his few close friends, that he would care for her child and the consequence of that was that he had become overly attached to the unigon, as much as his withdrawn self could manage, only to be resented by the one he had cared for as his own.

"If that is what you want." he relented, none too happily. "Just don't let him talk you into anything. And don't let him get drunk, he likes to hunt for non-existent treasure when he's drunk." he spoke from numerous experiences.
