*SNISH*
*SNISH*
*SNISH*
The sound echoed throughout the Hub.
Jack came out of his office, frowning. “Is the Gloriana Lily flowering?” he demanded.
Owen poked his head out of the hothouse. “Not for a couple more months at least. Wrong time of year.”
*SNISHSNISHSNISH*
“Then can someone tell me why Nosy is sneezing? Has it caught the cold Gwen had last week? She was sneezing all over the place, and shedding used tissues everywhere. Nosy kept putting them in the bin. Maybe it caught her germs.”
“Far as I know, Fluffs are immune to human diseases.”
*SNISH*
“Well then, maybe it caught bird flu or something! Hadn’t you better examine it?”
“Yeah, I probably should. Can’t ‘ave a sneezy Fluff slithering around the Hub. We might catch whatever Nosy’s got.”
Just then, Ianto came limping out of the lift, leaning on a crutch and with one foot in an orthopaedic boot. Halfway across the Hub. He paused and sneezed.
“Bloody hell! Has anyone even bothered to sweep up or vacuum the floor while I’ve been off work with my foot? There’s dust everywhere!”
*SNISH* Nosy agreed forlornly. Low to the ground, it couldn’t help stirring up dust everywhere it went.
