I highly doubt you're a jerk like Nume. Not liking to have your space invaded and your routine thrown off is fine, just don't take it out on the little kid. {= P

I might debate who's more mature between Nume and Lux! What's the measure of maturity? I'd say the ability to put yourself aside and recognize when others come first is a fairly important quality there. Nume is very bad at it. He's responsible, for sure, but he makes absolutely no effort to disguise the fact that he's motivated chiefly by self-interested fear of the consequences should he fail. Lux is a ditz, but she is also genuinely interested in other people. I'm pretty sure she would've helped even without the promise of a reward, if Nume hadn't offered any, just because it was a nice thing to do. I believe making it a transaction put Nume at ease, if ever so slightly. I give Lux the point for emotional maturity. ^_^

I'm glad you liked the Escher room bit. With all the ingredients right there, I couldn't resist. {= D

~Neshomeh should probably add a note about the provenance of Jof and Jareth. Lux, too.
