Jareth went home completely unsettled after listening to Annie's pleas, which was like an unending preaching, to stay at home, warning him that Elias is a peak Lord arcanist—a Rank 4 Level 4—with a luck divination spell.
She even told him that he was 90% accurate most of the time. Elias merely gave him a short piece of advice to drop anything he had in mind, advising that living is better than losing his life.
When he got home, he went straight to his room, ignoring the empty house. He lay on the bed, locked in an intense struggle over making a decision.
Everything was telling him not to go, but he also knew that would leave him with two 'safe' choices—reveal that he had two violet portals, or remain an Awakened arcanist.
If he didn't have an oblivium source, he would have thought it was a peculiarity or mutation. It wouldn't have been a problem to come clean. Unfortunately, his source made him wary.
