The touch grounded her, much better than her mangled mind ever could've. She has mastered switching between forms with ease, one with the voracious hunger of a newborn star, the other the blazing supernova of a dying one. And she was still capable of feeling somewhat human. Especially when Erebus was near.
“You have nothing to be sorry about.” probably the firmest tone she ever used with him, but how could she allow him berating himself for her decision
“You aren't relying on me. I am well aware that I can...overreact. And the outcome is brutal but final. I know I'm...much.”
“You can take care of yourself. It was me who stepped in without asking.” the entity couldn't remember one time in her life when she apologized or at least came close doing so.
“I...” gone the unforgiving burning void, only vulnerable jade gazed up “I lost my family. My virginity. My life. Some parts of my sanity. My physical health.” interpreting it as a sign, her heart picked up a brutal rhythm, one that made her seek his embrace even further
“The only thing I hold intact from myself is my voice. The ones I can save are because of my losses. And one time I still failed. I just- I couldn't stand and watch.” she was soaking up the reassurance, she felt unnecessary to say she will tear this dimension apart with her own hands if someone manages to take him away
“I can say with confidence that unfortunately, you're stuck with me too.”

Her head fluidly turned a full 180° at the first sentence, blood slowly but surely evaporating from midnight claws.
“ T̵h̸e̷y̷ ̵h̷u̷r̵t̴ ̶y̶o̶u̷. ” the entity echoed as it glided back to the gargoyle demon. Too long fingers gently tilted his face upwards to meet eyes of abyss with a golden shifting galaxy as pupils as it searched for injuries.
“I didn’t waste anything.” the voice was still strong but less drowning as the being slowly changed back to the familiar face of the young woman
“You don’t have to be strong alone anymore. It, this is also my job. Why I was resurrected in the first place. I don’t doubt your abilities ” Cindy sighed, now every part of her back to normal “but don’t make me watch you getting hurt. I lost so much already.”
Before, seeing her like this might have instilled fear in his heart, but now, he just met her with tired resignation. He knew she just being protective. He knew this was just who she was. But he couldn’t shake the feeling of having someone else’s blood on his hands…and it was a feeling he was all too familiar with.
He heaves out a weary sigh, black-taloned hands reaching up to gently grasp her own.
“….’M sorry, Cindy. You ain’t the first person who’s tried to protect me. And I…and I thought I should be able to take care of myself. Without having to rely on other people.”
His gaze softens. “Hey, you’re not losin’ me. Not now or ever.” At that, he cracks a small smile. “You’re stuck with me now.”
