Sniffles and Sneezes [ action || open ]
[The turn of the cold weather had done a number on Ashura, and the rapid switch back to warming temperatures (not to warm yet, but warm enough), was playing havoc on his sinuses. The end result being he was stricken with something of a nasty head cold. And of course the consequence of this being that he sneezed - a lot.

The throbbing pressure of a sinus head ache made concentrating a bit difficult, which in turn meant that almost every other time he sneeze, especially in a chain, there was a pop (like a firecracker) of a burst of flame around him. It happened now and then when he got sick, even at this age (one never quite grew out of it).

He was out for some light exercise, a walk really, but the sneezes kept coming - and with the, the pops.]

[ooc: he won't be setting anything on fire, unless you want him to accidentally set something of yours on fire. Otherwise the little flare ups are to fast to do much besides make that loud 'pop' sound.]

	[Ukitake has countless tricks up his sleeve to relieve the pains of a head cold. It comes with the territory of a chronic lung disease. He waves when he sees Ashura and makes his way over.] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Fancy seeing you here. :) oceanstorm 2012-05-09 12:39 am UTC (link)
	[Eyes widening a fraction, Ukitake nevertheless moves to his friend's side.] Not feeling well? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I know right? wishmadeinfire 2012-05-09 12:51 am UTC (link)
	A head cold, it seems. _{[He shakes his head and delicately sniffs, hidden behind his sleeves.]} It seems bad enough that I am reverting to a rather juvenile problem. _{[He sneezed and another crack sounded.]} (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	We're just that cool. oceanstorm 2012-05-09 12:54 am UTC (link)
	I take it the juvenile problem you mean is the sparks, and not the sneezing. [Because sneezing observes no barrier of age.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	we are, we are wishmadeinfire 2012-05-09 01:15 am UTC (link)
	Yes, quiet. It happens sometimes. Thankfully they are more controlled than in my youth, else half the dome would be aflame now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceanstorm 2012-05-09 02:23 am UTC (link)
	That's good to hear. Dousing the entire dome wouldn't do much for that cold of yours. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It would be better to rest. [Laying a hand on Ashura's elbow.] Come. Let's return to your dwelling. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_{[He sighed.]} Probably for the best. _{[He nodded and slid his arm through Ukitake's, allowing the other to start guiding him back.]} Huh, this rapid change weather is bringing havoc on me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceanstorm 2012-05-10 12:58 pm UTC (link)
	It can be difficult to cope with such sudden changes in conditions. [Ukitake is fortunate he hasn't become ill himself. Yet.] Still, at least it appears warmer weather is ahead. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wishmadeinfire 2012-05-10 02:11 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, that is true. _{[He sighed as they walked and then sneezed several times rapid fire, the cracks following in flashes.]} It is a wonder I haven't spooked someone to death... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceanstorm 2012-05-10 02:19 pm UTC (link)
	Oh, I don't think it's all that bad. At least you're not setting anyone on fire. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wishmadeinfire 2012-05-10 02:33 pm UTC (link)
	True. I used to cause quite the panic as a child - I set the curtains and plants on fire more than once. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceanstorm 2012-05-11 02:47 pm UTC (link)
	Goodness. Though, I suppose some Soul Reapers have similar problems in their youth, if they're strong enough. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wishmadeinfire 2012-05-12 04:54 am UTC (link)
	Really? Heh, I thought it would only be a Talented problem. _{[He chuckled, remembering.]} I always had a servant with a cup of water ready to dump on anything I accidentally a lit before I got control of myself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceanstorm 2012-05-14 01:40 pm UTC (link)
	Really. Any Soul Reaper of sufficient ability can cause disruptions to the environment around them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wishmadeinfire 2012-05-14 05:14 pm UTC (link)
	Well, I suppose I feel a bit better. At least I am managing to keep a lid on it and just causing the sparks. The servants would have wished for that centuries ago! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceanstorm 2012-05-14 05:59 pm UTC (link)
	I take it when you were younger, you didn't cause sparks so much as potential conflagrations. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wishmadeinfire 2012-05-14 06:05 pm UTC (link)
	Ah, more or less. I could not clamp down on them as tightly as I can now. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceanstorm 2012-05-14 06:16 pm UTC (link)
	Then we can all be thankful for your hard work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wishmadeinfire 2012-05-14 06:27 pm UTC (link)
	_{[He chuckled and nudged the other lightly as they walked, coming to his apartment building and heading in.]} I think the servants were more grateful than anything, especially the one that had to carry around the water. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I hope you found him or her something a little more relaxing or a rather generous pension. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wishmadeinfire 2012-05-19 03:10 am UTC (link)
	Haha, believe me, I did. They were promoted to helping with my hair. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceanstorm 2012-05-19 03:01 pm UTC (link)
	[Smiling.] How do you manage it now, with no designated servant? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wishmadeinfire 2012-05-19 03:59 pm UTC (link)
	I keep it simple. I used to be able to have high complicated twists and braids. Now I simply must only have it down, braided, or in a tail. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	oceanstorm 2012-05-19 07:46 pm UTC (link)
	Interesting. Is that a particular feature of the aristocracy, or do all of your people embrace such elaborate styles? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Well, my father did not, but he was more... simple, than I was in such things. I take somewhat after my mother in this respect, but I am also supposed to represent all my people, and thus I try and find balance between female and male harmonies.

It is not necessary for me to dress me hair so, but for formal occasions I wear it elaborately. During battle and less formal times, I wore it more simply.

It really is a thing that depends on situations, though many aristocratic women where their hair in such a way more often than non, simply because they do not have to do things that risk ruining the effort put into making it that way.

	The most elaborate styling is generally reserved for the women of highborn families in Soul Society, although they generally do not carry such things into service as Soul Reapers should they join. It is much more rare for men to trouble themselves with more than simply tying back their hair. [Unless they happen to be Byakuya.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wishmadeinfire 2012-05-19 10:07 pm UTC (link)
	The same can be said of mine, but as I said, I represent all my people, so I try and pick a path of style and dress between the two sexes. (Reply to this) (Parent)
