When Andy lead Desha back to their rooms, they had a visitor. Gypsy stood, still fully cloaked, in their sitting room and frowned when she saw them enter, "Desha... What's happened?" she said softly in a voice that was pure, if unintentional, seduction to hear.
She moved to help Andy get the healer sitting on the couch then went to pour him a glass of brandy and returned with it, passing it to him with a gloved hand.
Desha drank the brandy down in one swallow then gasped as it burned down his throat, "Emergency healing. It was Blade, she was attacked. I was able to heal her but-" his face crumbled a bit there and turned his face into Andy's shoulder as he finally lost himself to his own tears over the miscarriage.
It didn't take much for her to figure something else went wrong. So she sat on the coffee table in front of them and pushed the hood of her cloak back to reveal her crimson eyes and flame-colored hair, features that were certainly alluring and an aura that was even more so. But it was all unconscious on her part and not something she could do anything about.
She raised her eyes to Andy for him to finish what Desha couldn't say.

Gypsy was stunned by the news. She'd known Blade and her brother Wind their entire life. She'd watched them grow up and even trained Blade to use her namesakes to perfection, so she was closer to the Demonicus female than to her brother.
"Oh dear gods... We just had something similar happen to Cynthia... She was attacked, though tortured probably fits better, by Goh over in Darkness Abounds... She miscarried as a result of her injuries... Lareth was devastated, as was Hal... But Blade..." she closed her eyes as she tried to process the news and had to blink a bit to get herself under any kind of control.
She looked at Desha and knew exactly what the situation was for him but looked back up at Andy to speak to instead, "I'll leave you to comfort him, Andy... It's good to know he has someone to look after him in times like this... I only wish we'd met under better circumstances. I'll remain here until your wedding," she said softly and gave him a small nod as she stood and pulled the hood of her cloak back up, instantly diminishing the effect of her looks and aura.
"I'll see you again when he's had a chance to calm down. The brandy will help calm him in a bit and let you get him cleaned up and into bed. Just remind him that he did all he could until he believes you," she added, then left the room.
Desha heard the conversation between them but it was if from a distance as he silently cried into Andy's shoulder. Losing any patient always affected him hard, but to lose Blade's twins like that hit him harder than usual and he could only silently wish he'd gotten there sooner...

Desha, of course, relaxed under Andy's care of him, letting him take him over for now, "I know, love... I just can't help it sometimes..." he said softly then had to blink a bit as the brandy hit him a bit more and sent the bathroom spinning briefly.
That made him frown, "I should have mentioned that I don't usually drink brandy. It always goes straight to my head..." he told him, having to work to get the words out without slurring them, "I usually shtick to wine. No idea why Gypsy gave me the blashted stuff..." he added, finding that his attempt to speak clearly was diminishing a bit.
