Lucy tensed. This conversation was starting to waver over the thin line that divided comfortable small talk and extremely personal. She bit her lip and drew her knees up once more, hugging them tightly. If she hugged hard enough, maybe she'd disappear and not have to get into this. There was a part of her that rebelled against the instinct to avoid, though. Part of her really wanted to test the waters to see if Alexandria was talking about what Lucy thought she was. Because if she was, wouldn't it be nice to have someone that could possibly understand what it was like?

"Oh? Did you have....allergies?" That wasn't what she meant to say. Cancer was so easy to bandy about when it was casual. This wasn't as casual as quoting facts about melanoma. That didn't directly refer to her. This was personal, for both of them. She also didn't want to just spill the beans in case she was wrong. Maybe Alexandria had just had lots of colds. That was always a possibility.
