Hal lowered his head into one hand, "Oh great good gods above and below..." he swore softly as if praying for help. But he considered the situation as it pertained to these two people carefully, knowing that this had to be done right.
He finally gave a heavy sigh and sat back to take a controlled drink from his glass before speaking, "Alright... Knowing Cynthia as I do she'll probably think you simply meant keeping her with you, not a proposal of marriage. We'll have the time with her injured to get it done right and in such a way that she'll have no doubts of your intentions," he said simply and had to stand up and pace, his free hand rubbing at his chest in the process.
Why was he having pains now? He knew he was getting old but he thought he'd have more time... Perhaps he'd have just enough time... He dearly hoped so...
"Here's what we'll do... We'll plan a ball, a gathering of the demons to present her, so to speak, so that you can ask her to marry you publicly and clearly. We'll have to do something before then to get rid of your fathers' ridiculous death sentence, but it can be done if we're cunning with it... Your people want justice for what she did to them in the past, so I propose that we send out the details of what Goh has done to her to every village and castle the realm has, to every one of your people. If they need to see proof, let them come to see her while she sleeps, see her injuries. I don't think anyone can see what was done to her and still think they need any further justice. After that, declare her pardon and be done with it. Then we can get the plans for the ball underway while she finishes healing without her knowing of it and surprise her with it," he offered, his old mind still sharp and cunning on little details like this.
He'd been a brilliant tactician in his time and found himself glad that he hadn't lost that much yet.
"In the meantime, you court her, learn about her, focus on keeping yourself in her company until she demands that you leave her alone even if for a short time. Not gifts. No, spend time with her, learn her favorite foods, details about her past, that kind of thing.
"While you're doing that, please consider what to do with your sister-in-law. We cannot keep her sleeping like that for long, it isn't healthy for her. She needs something, or someone, to distract her from her grief and rage. You're better at matchmaking than you give yourself credit for, so keep it in mind," he added, offering a wry grin at the end when he thought of how he'd successfully married off all of his former lovers in perfect love matches.

Hal gave a nod as he finally sat down again, his face now showing his worry over their troubled hybrid, "I'm worried about her, Lareth... She should have moved past the rage by now and into sorrow... I've never known anyone to hold onto such rage for so long... I wish you luck with waking and feeding her. I just wish I were younger and able to do more for her," he said softly then took another drink from his glass.
He almost rubbed at his chest again, but felt the wine helping to ease the ache and simply relaxed as he looked over at Lareth with a small smile, "All worries aside... I'm glad you've finally found your feelings for Cynthia... She's a remarkable woman, all her magic aside. She's been through so much over her life. I always knew I wasn't the one for her, but I am glad to have known her for the short time we were together. When she isn't injured and being chased, she's a bit of a firecracker..." he told him, so glad that his king had finally found love.
Soon... He'd be able to go soon... After the ball... After the wedding... After the birth of their first child... Then it would be time...
