It's not like we were inconspicuous on our walk through the city or particularly secretive about our destination," Jareth observes with a wry smile. But if that coward did betray us to save his own skin, my chain will be around his throat at the next opportunity.Looking sidelong to Mal, Jareth says "Keep the crown on you, but don't reveal it just yet, if it can be avoided. We may need it as a bargaining chip. And perhaps even sooner rather than later."Oh, and Ernestine, I think we should avoid lying to them. Keeping things a little hidden or close to the vest is one thing, but outright lying really won't help our cause."Looking around and seeing everyone more-or-less disarmed at this point (or at least not holding and brandishing weapons), Jareth takes a deep breath and steels himself. He gives everyone a quick nod, then calls out loudly "Peace was our intention since our entrance into the forest. We came to talk, not to fight. Now I'm going to slowly open the door. You will see no weapons raised among the five of us in here. We wish for parley, not bloodshed." As he finishes, Jareth does as he said he would and begins slowly inching the door open. Even as his body tenses up, his mind stays calm, the product of training and recent experience. Come to think of it, he may well have been more jittery just before the battle back at Harkon Manner... A true wonder how far one can come in such a short time.</blockquote>
