*starts coughing, still smiling slightly*

...do you need more tea?

Nah. Just sick.

...okay.

*sipping her tea, sighing*

...you're okay though, right?

Yeah. I just came down with something small or there's nasty f... nasty allergies.

...what are allergies?

When your body doesn't like something normally harmless and reacts to force it out. Pollen, animal dander, that kind of thing. It's a lot like a cold, but usually without a fever and the like.

Why?

*coughs, and takes another sip* Usually because something about it irritates the immune system. *voice breaks slightly*

...oh.

...um... what's an immune system?

Your body's way of keeping you healthy.

Oh...

Then why does it give you allergies?

Overzealous.

...it likes keeping you healthy, so it keeps doing it?

It takes its job too seriously and sometimes reacts to harmless things.

That's weird.

That's your body for you.

How do you know so much about it?

Health class.

...like, to be a doctor?

Nah. *breaks off to cough for a bit* Basic "this is your body. This is what it does. This is how you take care of it. Don't be a pu... wimp and call a doctor every time you have a sniffle.

They have to teach you what your body does? That's stupid.
