((Nice!))
Cynthia ignored his yelling at first, thankful that he'd managed to wait long enough to come after her that she wasn't panting from the pain or pale as a ghost anymore. So she simply waited with a raised eyebrow as she watched him stomp inside the room.
When she did speak, she was calm, which should have frightened him, "You said that when I could get here on my own, I could do so. So I did. I have no idea why you're angry over it. I'm your mistress, Lareth, not your wife. At least in here I don't have to deal with you glowering at me whenever you look at me. The room has it's own safeguards now so no one can get in here but you and Hal, so why are you yelling at me?" she explained to him, keeping herself very calm over the whole thing.

Cynthia glared at him this time but remained calm, placing her hands carefully in her lap. She knew she hadn't popped a stitch but had simply strained her wounds a bit, hence the blood.
"But I'm not your wife, Lareth. And until I reach that state, which we both know isn't going to happen, you have no right to demand things like this from me. I didn't run from you. I just moved to a different room. A mistress understands her lovers needs. Needs you can't have met until I'm healed. Since that won't be happening for at least another two months, I'd suggest you go check on your new sparring partner and calm yourself before you do something you'll regret," she warned him, carefully explaining everything to him so he'd understand.
"And if you don't stop yelling at me, you will regret it," she told him in that very calm tone. She may be injured, but she was still called a sorceress for a good reason.
Of course, her words did tell him one thing that was important. She didn't think his 'proposal' from before was a proposal. She also had no idea of the plans that Hal was making for the ball where Lareth was planning on making a formal proposal.

Cynthia listened to everything Hal told her and even had to admit that he was right. But then she explained her part of the last conversation with Lareth and told him how confused she was over his behavior.
"I just don't understand it, Hal. I know he cares about me and wants me to stay here with him. But he doesn't say anything to me. Just stands there and glowers at me when I eat, picks me up and holds me when the maids change the sheets, and glares at me when he changes the bandages. Nothing else. Hell, he wouldn't even lay next to me in the bed. I can't shake the feeling that he's mad at me for getting hurt or thinks that I'm a burden right now. It's confusing with knowing that he cares about me..." she explained to him softly.
She had been more than grateful that Hal had changed her bandages, confirmed that she hadn't popped any stitches on her walk here, and helped her change into another gown. She was even more grateful for the fruit he'd brought her as well. Now she was tucked back under the covers, glad that she could talk to him about this.
Of course, she was also confirming that she was, in fact, not pregnant.
"I thought that moving into here would make things easier for him. I know he hasn't been having sex with anyone else and I'm sorry for implying it, but you know how I can get when I get hurt. I hate being hurt. I'm supposed to be immortal, for crying out loud. But I'm still as able to get hurt as any other human. It's annoying and frustrating. Especially when all I want is to lay next to him, to be able to show him that I'm actually not this weak. I'm probably the most powerful sorceress in existence right now but I can't heal myself..." she voiced her frustrations freely.
"I love him more than I can find words to express. But I don't know how to get him to open up to me, Hal, to simply talk to me. I don't know what to do..." she finished, hoping that he'd have some kind of solution since she had absolutely no idea of how to fix things with Lareth...

Cynthia gave him a small nod as she wiped at her face, wondering why she was still crying, "I'll try, Hal. But we both know that I've never been very good at small talk," she said in a wry tone, knowing full well that she was right on that one.
After another moment, she gave a soft sigh and looked at the door Lareth had kicked in, "Do you think I should go back to his room? Would that make it easier for him? I really did think that this would be better on us both..." she asked him softly and thought about their last conversation in this room, after she'd been taken by Esabel, "Our last conversation in this room... Now when he came in here just a bit ago, the conversation before that... He told me that he hated me... But in his room, when I woke up after he brought me back... He said he wanted to 'treasure' me, wanted me to stay with him forever... He hasn't said anything other than that about how he feels about me... I just don't know what to think anymore Hal..." she told him in a soft whisper, not knowing that Hal knew how Lareth had bungled his proposal...

Cynthia slept for hours at a time, only waking briefly enough to realize she was still in the same room before drifting off again. When she woke up next, she frowned at the room as she sat up slowly against the pillows, deciding that perhaps the room change hadn't given her the change she'd thought she needed. It was quiet in here, almost too quiet. In Lareth's room, she always heard him moving around while she slept and had gotten used to it.
She gave a soft sigh and cleared her face, doing her best to relax as she tried to figure out if she'd healed much at all. Apparently not from the amount of pain she was in. But she simply breathed slowly through it until it was at least bearable and turned her attention to what she should talk to Lareth about if he ever came into the room again.
She knew she'd upset him by coming in here but had thought she'd done the right thing. But she hadn't. She realized that she'd gotten used to having him close, simply hearing his footsteps nearby. She missed those sounds. She missed him.
Then she realized that she'd dropped herself into the trap of him being everything to her while she still wasn't sure entirely what she meant to him. She knew that eventually he'd want her to leave, he did with every lover he'd ever had. She dreaded that day coming, knowing that she'd leave without her heart...
