Cynthia gave him a dazzling smile and leaned forward to press a kiss to his cheek, one hand holding the sheet in place so that he wouldn't blush, "Hal, you are a true miracle worker. It's absolutely beautiful! Now I can go and walk around the garden and make him come and find me, for once," she teased a bit, fully intending to give Lareth a run for his proverbial money now that he'd 'staked his claim', however temporary it was.
Her face went serious after a moment of admiring the dress though, "But Hal... Right now, I seriously need one other thing... A cup of that coffee I'm smelling over there and a bowl of that fruit," she said it totally seriously but hoped he'd get the humor anyway from the playful light in her soft green eyes, somehow knowing that she had to keep him on his toes for a little while longer.
She knew the signs in him, she'd seen it before. But she wasn't saying anything about it, not even showing that she knew at all. One of the few things she'd learned about Hal over the centuries was that he valued his dignity and service to Lareth's family. So she'd do her best to keep him from knowing she knew and throw things in the works to keep him active and his mind healthy for as long as she could.

Cynthia slept for an entire day before waking again. She did it with a fear-filled gasp and a jerk of her body that made her whimper in pain as her eyes went wide, looking around the room until she finally settled on Lareth. Then tears filled her eyes and she lifted a shaking hand to touch him but stopped just short of actually doing so, "I'm sorry..." she whispered softly, her voice still rough from everything she'd been through.
But what was she apologizing for? Any number of things, really. Getting taken in the first place, having attracted Goh's interest enough that he'd even followed her here, she even felt responsible for the death of his brother. Truthfully, none of it was her fault. But she still felt responsible for it all. She'd been hunted in the past so she knew what the risks of it were. And now she'd brought it all to his door and family.
She dropped her shaking hand to the bed without touching him and closed her eyes tightly, trying not to cry. Two tears escaped her efforts, though and coursed their way into her hair. Admittedly, she had good reason to cry at the moment, but some part of her had to fight against it, had to push the emotions down so that she could do what she had to do. Habits of a very long lifetime of survival.
She couldn't help but feel a need to run and keep running until she was away from anyone and everyone. Then no one else would die because of her. Through her mind flashed so many faces, so many people that had died because she'd known them when some idiot decided to hunt her down for her power or the secret of her immortality. And it had happened again...

Cynthia opened her eyes to look up at him, the sincerity in his eyes giving her the courage to finally let go. So she cried despite her injuries screaming in pain from it and let him hold her hand for it.
"I knew... I knew if I stayed... he'd find me here... follow and kill others... It's my fault that Kaljire died... It's happened before, every time..." she voiced her inner pain to him, letting him know that she did feel it was her fault even as her tears continued to roll down her face.
She wished she could reach her anger, the one thing that had kept her going before now. But all she could feel was that she'd failed him, the one person she loved more than anything and it showed in every word she spoke.
As strong as she was, as much power she had at her command, she still felt that she'd failed. She couldn't even defend herself against the madman when he'd come for her or when he'd tortured her for nothing more than her screams, her pain, and her power.
For the first time in her life, she let someone see her at her weakest. It was a show of trust that she broke down with him, something not even Hal had ever seen with her...

For once he was astounded to how smart she could pick up on his hint. Most of the time her perception to figuring things out before he meant her to, was annoying. Thankfully he wasn't annoyed but relieved he didn't have to spell it out.
As she said the last bit, he gave her a smile.
"I am glad you are mine....I would seal that promise with a fine time of making you pant and beg for me, but until you are healed, I will seal your promise with a kiss."
He kissed her firmly, deeply, possessively, lovingly. He broke the kiss after some time and whispered to her in a husky voice.
"For however long we have together, I will do you right Cynthia. I swear on my life. You will be the only one for me...in my arms, bed, and heart."
