Title: A tub-side chat

Author: Floating Feather

Fandom/Original: Original

Summary: A conversation goes on between two while a female's allergies kick in.

Authors Notes: There was such call for it that I did another! It's not the same girl (or, if you like, I suppose it could be...), but that doesn't mean it should be less fun.

Please leave your comments, I really enjoy hearing them!

-

Sniff.

"Hm?"

"Hm what?"

"I thought you said something."

"No, you must have misheard. I didn't say anything." She shifts in place, drawing undue focus to a curvy stomach between her two swimsuit pieces.

"My mistake. Are you enjoying yourself?"

"Yeah, but I can't figure out exactly where to sih.. sit." She sniffs again.

"Getting cold?"

"Maybe! I suppose if I get too chilly I can just slip all the way in." She displays a smile, then returns to neutral as her nostrils widen.

"You can do whatever you like, there's no restrictions right now. The party is a bit dead."

"I think the party ended when everyone went except us went home." A melodic giggle flows out of the girl, and she takes a moment to pull wet, blonde hair away from her face with a finger.

"I'd call that an accurate analysis. Though you were the life of the party, if I recall."

The reply she would be giving is delayed by a sniff and a brief, slight lift of her head. "Mm? I don't think so. I was just trying to save face after my fiasco."

"I don't think it was your fiasco. Our host ought to have let you know she had a dog."

She waves a hand back and forth, trying to dismiss the issue. Two errant breaths punctuate her speech. "My nose let me know soon enough. It was just ah.. an ah.. accident."

"Having another flare-up?"

A pearly grin is awarded, disappearing with equal quickness as she goes to speak. "No, definitely not. The dog's inside, I'm out here." She doesn't seem to notice her nostrils flare.

"You say that, but..."

She giggles again. "I'm really not! I.." a sudden breath cuts her off, and she blinks. "I'm just a bit chilly." She lifts her finger beneath her nose again as she sniffs.

"Mmhmm. And who're you trying to convince about that?"

"Unless you hHHHh... have a lot of fur on you, there's nothing I could.. HAh.. be reacting to out here."

"You have no other allergies?"

She hesitates, then lowers her head and grins at the pool water, swishing her long legs beneath the surface. A louder sniff doesn't stop her.

"That's what's called guilty silence."

"It's-" another loud sniff, and she lifts her head, hand rising suddenly. She has to blink a few times, and tilts back with a few silent breaths. "It's not.." Yet another sniff. "guilty."

"Well, it takes your allergies a while to react, right?"

"Ruh..HUHh.." She stops talking entirely for a moment, reeling as she tries to control herself. "Ri..right."

"Well, what've you been around?"

"Nuh.. Nothing, since the dog. I HUHh.. honestly ha...HAh.. HAve no idea.. Why.. I'm sniffling.. so.. muhhh.. HUHhh.. HUHHh.." She pauses, managing to restrain herself, but her quivering jaw gives away a losing battle.

...

"HUHhh..HHUUHHhhh..HHUUUUUUHHHHCCCHHHHOOOOO!" Both her swimsuit and her hair react, the former with a bounce and the latter by being tossed forwards. She pulls the locks back with her hands, placing them over her shoulders again. "Sorry, I.." she freezes up again, a breath tugged into her mouth without warning. She seems to settle, and her blue eyes glance over.

"Well, what are you aller-"

A sudden gasp of air is followed by a cataclysmic release. "HHHHHHHH---HHHHHHHHUUUUHHHHHHHHHCCCCHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" She bends over completely to her legs before coming back up, hair dangling onto the pool water. She runs her hands over her head to reel it back in, and shakes water off of her face. "Sorry, again."

"What are you allergic to?"

Now that she has attention, her pointer finger and her thumb pinch the top edges of her swimsuit, pulling them up to preserve a slowly slipping modesty. "MAhh..magnolias, ah..AH.. AAAAAHHHHHCCCHHHHHHOOOOOOO!" She sniffs. "And..." She sniffs again. "LAh..LAaah..LAAAAHhhehh.. HEEhh.. hh..HHUHh.." She fails to get words out, eyes fluttering shut immediately before she unleashes another "HHHHHHHUUUUUUHHHHHHHHCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

"Loud and proud. What're you allergic to?"

"Magnolias, la.. lavender, and.." She stops to sniff, nostrils flaring wide. She rubs her nose with the back of her her hand, but seems to make the problem worse- she takes a long gasp, jaw shaking again as her mouth hangs open. "And marigolds, as well as cats."

"Are you allergic to just the pollen, or does something el-"

Having been holding back another sneeze both while talking and listening runs her out of time. The fluttering eyes and hitching breath culminates in a final, large draw of air, heralding the explosion. "HHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOO!!" She's forced to fetch the ends of her hairs out of the pool again, and takes a long sniff. "Sorry, sorry. It's.. it's the smell and suh-huh.. some of the chehHHHHhh..chemicals in theh.. EHh..."

"Well, mystery solved. Did you know our gracious host-"

"HEHHH...HEEEHH....HHUUUUUUUUHHCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOO!" Her wet, blonde hair tumbles off her shoulders and falls into her face again, chest shuddering beneath a slipping swimsuit top.

"Bless you. Did you know our gracious host has a lavender soap in this pool?"

Her nose seems to react to the news, nostrils flaring in proximity to her water-soaked hair. It seems to find truth in the words, her eyes falling shut as she tries to stand up. "HHHHHhh...HHHHHHHh...!" She manages to get all the way upright and onto her bare feet before she's forced back down, offering a brief bird's eye view of her swimsuit contents.

"HHHUUUUUUUUHHHHHHCCCCHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOO!!" Her hair swings out in front of her, shedding droplets and prompting another expulsion of air. "HHHUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHCCCCCCHHHHHOOOOOOOO!!" She begins to stand upright, and slowly makes for the door of the fence, choosing it as her escape route. She inhales and then doubles over as she makes it to the exit, placing one palm on the wooden gate for support. "HHUHHHHHh...HHUUUUUHHHHHCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

"Bless you!"

"I need to go rinse, I'll see you tomor..rruh...UHHH.. UUUUUUUHHHH..." She takes a deep breath and a sports a lifted head before she doubles over again... "HHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" There's finally been enough of a disturbance that a dog begins barking in the distance. With a sniff, she hurriedly leaves through the gate, loud sneezes giving her position away as she heads for the nearest shower.
