Sapphira smiled, closing her eyes as she was pulled into the hug. She kept her roses safe, wrapping her arms around her brother. "I won't let anything happen to you, Brother." She looked up at him with a smile. "So, what is new in your life?"

He looked down to her and bit his lower lip softly before resting his forehead against Saph's.
"Uh...I wanted to wait a little bit to say this...but...Fel's pregnant. She'll soon need to take to her dragon form so the baby doesn't die...You're gonna be a auntie, Saph."

"Aye." she said softly, looking somewhat coy at this information. Smiling, she hoped Saph would take this well.

Sapphira's eyes went wide as Tutsumi said this. Not like she was overly upset, but because of the surprise that he would go to such an action so suddenly, and confusion of why he kept doing this. The one reason why Tutsumi does not have a child this day was because, well, his past wives went coo coo.
She bit her lip, letting her arms fall to her sides, the roses slipping for her grip. Time seemed to slow she she looked down at the glass rose as it hit the rocky path below and shattered.
Stuttering and mumbling in an ancient language to herself, she quickly fell to her knees, sweeping the glass into a small pile with her hands, ignoring how sharp they were as they stuck deep into her skin. The other rose that was fallen desaturated into a gray before quickly going black. This as a sign of stress or anxiety.

Vice had been off in his own little world while they spoke, seeing no reason to join in on this conversation. The main thought that ran though his mind was how to fix Axel and things of the like. Suddenly he felt Sapphira become disstressed, then heard the shatter. He bent down next to her as she began to sweep up the pieces. "Now, calm yourself... that was just a trinket, and a repairable one at that. You do not need to hurt yourself..." As he spoke he gently placed his hands over her's, making sure not to push the glass deeper into her hands. He smiled to her kindly. "Put the pieces back, allow me to heal you, and then I will repair it. No harm done." He was not so good at cheering people up, but he was actually trying for once.

Frowning, Tutsumi bent down and made a slow coil with his fingers around the broken shards. Each shard would pull together and then reform into the glass rose. He looked at his rose and frowned again, his own heart saddening suddenly. He then simply placed the glass rose on the ground in front of Saph and back off away from everyone.
"Dragons are...able to birth without going through what the others have. I...maybe I should go..."

"I- I- I-..." Sapphira stared down at the rose as Tutsumi fixed it. Hands now being held in Vice's grip, she closed her eyes, thoughts firing through her head.
This was so weird... why would Tutsumi do this? He wasn't himself. This place was unreal. Angels? Demons? Dragons...? She had not heard of some of the things here. So much distress... and... Vice... he seemed to kind to be true.
She bowed her head, shaking itt quickly. What if... this was some trick by Loki, god of Mischief? Or perhaps Yamamato was making this world up... maybe she was back in his lab, or still there even. This was all some crazy fantasy...
She looked to Tutsumi as he started backing away, moving her arm to try and grab his pant leg or do something to stop him. "No... no... don't leave... Tut... I-..."

Feldspar sighed, again feeling frustrated about how poorly Saph was accepting this, but she did not loose her temper. With a soft sigh she remained where she was, not wanting to distress any of them.

Freezing as she grabbed onto his pants leg, Tutsumi slowly moved back to her and sat down in front of her. He looked into her eyes and smiled softly before opening up his arms for a hug.

Vice let go of the hand that reached out for Tutsumi as he gently picked up the glass rose. He sighed slightly and waited for something to happen that he could help with.

Seeing their affection continuing to keep them both strong, she smiled. "You are very fortunate to have each other as family." she said honestly, her smile growing with her words. She now gazed upon Vice. "And you, Saph, are fortunate also to have this kind man, so patiently waiting by your side."

Sapphira stared up at Tutsumi for a long moment, shaking a bit from stress. She bit her lip, looking down at the rose as Vice took it in his grip. She couldn't feel her hands ; blood was everywhere by now. This was not a minor wound, and healing it was not a good idea unless you picked all the glass out first.
She moved over to Tutsumi slowly, but stopped half way. This was all some fantasy... this could not be happening... Shaking her head, she pushed herself to her feet instead, stumbling a bit. Chuckling softly she looked up to the sky as if none of them had ever existed. "The jokes over... stop this... none of this is real. This place is not real, Vice... is too kind to be real... and I could never see Tutsumi like this. Stop this now..."
She closed her eyes, waiting for some kind of response, anything. She wanted to know her mind was true, she only wished... this was all so... strange...

"Humans request to be pinched or slapped to be forcibly proven they are in fact with reality and not a fantasy. Have you a preference?" she asked in a calm tone, getting to the point, bluntly as usual but not unkind.

"Ask me anything, anything at all. This is no dream, Sapphira...Fenris...my sister...the girl I met oh so long ago...At least let me heal your wounded hands before you start a rant..."

"Real...? ... No... it can't be..." She looked down at him, her expression distant and lost. "This has to be a dream, brother..."
