In the aftermath of the dark tide, Jareth has much to do in order to set the labyrinth to rights. There were walls to raise, puzzles to plan, rooms to find where they had been shuffled away to nowhere. That said, even the master of the maze must rest from time to time, as he is doing now.

Ali sighed, staring at the door, and then knocked again. However reasonably certain she was that she could just sneak in and surprise him, it wouldn't be fair to Jareth to take such liberties with his home when she won't even let him into hers. So she knocks, again, and hopes someone hears her this time, while half her mind is already drifting away to other times and places.

Jareth was just settling into a comfy chair to relax (kept somewhere well away from the goblins, to keep them from getting any ideas). Something keeps impinging on his awareness. At last he snaps, "what is that infernal knocking?"

Knocking... the question brings the answer to his awareness: the Nexus door. A moment's scrying shows him Ali waiting outside. A breath later, the doors swing wide, with him waiting for her all smiles within.

Ali smiles dreamily for a moment, while her mind catches itself up in the moment again. And then she's there, stepping forward to give him a kiss. "Hello. I hope I'm not bothering you?"

"Perish the thought!" he replies, extending a hand to welcome her in. "To what do I owe this unparalleled delight?"
