Stephanie kept coughing. She doesn't know, but she kept coughing after a couple of minutes. She tried drinking water to clear her throat from all the coughing but it doesn't work and she felt confused. So, she tried writing her papers for her story but, kept coughing and couldn't focus on her work. She sighed and placed her pen down and coughed again, with her shoulder at her mouth to cover and hacked. She reached over and grabbed a piece of tissue and spat out the saliva and tossed that in the trash. She tried again to focus, until a thick German accent voice called out to her, "Hey, are jou alright?" She looked at her surroundings until she noticed the same doctor that she swallowed yesterday to warm him up from the coldness outside and he jolted a bit but cleared his throat. "Do jou have a sore throat?" he asked, calmly. She nodded her head and signed, "I lost my voice. So, I can't talk to you. But I can hear you." He nodded his head and looked over the counter that he was standing on and glanced back at Stephanie. "Could jou perhaps come over here?" he asked. She nodded her head and stood up from her chair and carefully and slowly walked over to him and knelt down slightly, so the she is facing him, not too close to make him uncomfortable. He nervously started shaking a bit, but, he clenched his hands together to stop himself from shaking and asked, "H-Have jou drank anything?"
She nodded her head and signed, "I have some water, but that didn't work." He thought to himself for a moment, before she coughed again, turning her head away to cough and he got an idea, but, he thought of what happened yesterday, but, he ignored it. "M-Ma'am? C-Could jou bent down more so zat I could look in jour mouth?" he asked, with stammering in his voice. She felt confused at first, but signed, "Are you sure?" He nodded his head, and she shrugged, as if saying, "Okay." She placed her right hand on the counter's edge and made a mention to back up more and he did, and she knelt down that her right knee is on the ground and her chin is on the counter, in front of him. He shaked more as he observed her knelt down in front of him and ignored his fears and she waited patiently for his signal. "Alright, jou can open jour mouth." he signaled. She lightly nodded her head and opened her mouth, revealing her sharp pearly white teeth, her soft pink tongue decorated with small bumps and the entrance to the esophagus with the uvula dangling over it. He shaked more but bravly and carefully, he walked over to her mouth, and shakily placed his right hand on her tongue, waited for a sudden bite from startlement, but, she didn't bite and he relaxed a bit, but the shaking didn't stop. He removed his hand from her tongue and she closed her mouth and felt the saliva on his gloved hand. Luckily he brought extra spare clothing for him to change in case of accidental swallowing and medication. The saliva felt a little sticky, so, he sighed. "Jou only have a sore throat. I brought some medication for jou to have but, unfortunately I have to be inside jour mouth to rub the medication on, instead of your hands. If I let jou do zat, the medication might be filled with germs und make jour sore throat more bad than normal." he explained, with hints of worriment in his voice.
She glanced away from the tiny medic and lightly smiled, nodded her head in agreement. "Alright, vait here as I go get the medication." he said, walking off. She nodded and waited patiently as he reached in his makeshift bag that one of the people made for him and pulled out a bottle with light blue gel inside and she felt confused. "Hair gel?" she signed with her hands, after she moved back slightly to sign and moved back and placed her head back on the counter. He glanced at the jar in his hand and chuckled. "Oh, nein, zis is the medicine to help jou with jour sore throat. Since I'm zhe one vearing gloves, et's easier for me to wipe it in the back of jour throat." he explained, trying to mask his worried look. She nodded her head, and he walked over to her throat, before she lifted her right hand and gently poked his chest as if, "Wait a moment." She opened her mouth again and stuck out her tongue, as if it was a platform for him to climb on and he thought his heart stopped in fear. But, he ignored the fear and walked over to the tongue and climbed on top, his boots covered in saliva and she carefully retracted her tongue back inside her mouth, and kept her mouth open for light and he started to shake. But, he shakily opened the jar to the medicine and after the lid came off, he placed that in his pocket on his side and scooped two fingers of the gel and the smell of the gel is a light cool mint and he spread some on the back of the throat, hoping that the giantess won't swallow him, again.
After he had spread the entire back throat, he moved back towards the front of the mouth and placed the jar down on the counter, until the medication kicked in and she coughed, accidently tossing him back and he gave out a shriek and was sealed in darkness. "VAIT! DON'T SWALLOW!" he screamed out, hoping that she'll listen, but he accidently poked the back of her throat with his boot, all of the gel melted away, and he felt the boot poked, so, to his shock and fear, swallowed and felt his squirming body going down her throat, and she instantly regretted it. Inside her body, he traveled through her esophagus, and after a few minutes inside the esophagus, he felt his boots poked through a muscular ring, and was pushed out of the esophagus and into the stomach, splashing clear liquid all over the walls and he looked terrified. "LET ME OUT! I THOUGHT JOU VERE SICK! VHY DID JOU LIED TO ME?!" he exclaimed as he thrashed around in her stomach. Outside, the giantess coughed a few times and croaked, "Hey, it's-!" she coughed again and walked over to the kitchen and poured herself some water and drank some. Inside, he heard the giantess gulp and he thought one of his crew members was swallowed, until something liquidly poured over his head and he looked up. "Sorry about that. I was sick, mister! I needed your help. But, the medicine already kicked in! I'm really sorry!" she explained, as her voice echoed around him. "Zen let me out!" he exclaimed. "If a minute passed, I'm going to get digested!" A moment of silence and she started to chuckle and he get angry. "JOU ZINK ZIS ES FUNNY?! ET'S NOT FUNNY, LET ME OUT!" he yelled. "No, no, no, not that, what you were thinking. Yesterday, while you were inside, you were inside there for 5 hours, as I was doing my business." she explained.
He was quiet for a moment and noticed the acid on the "ground," so he pulled off his rubber glove and reached his right hand in the acid and it didn't burn him. He placed his glove back on and felt confused. "I didn't have the chance to talk to you, because I thought you were already asleep, so, I was quiet. Sorry about yesterday though I was only trying to keep your warm. I'll let you out." she explained. "Vait, don't let me out, yet." he said. He looked around for a few minutes, until he placed his right hand on her stomach wall and felt, calm and collected for some reason. "Are you okay, mister?" the giantess asked. "Ja, I'm alright." he replied. "Now, do you want to come out?" she asked. A moment of silence and he replied, "Ja." Another moment of silence and he felt the walls gently pressed against him and he gave out a yelp and was gently pushed through the muscular ring and into the esophagus and into the mouth. Then, the mouth opened and the tongue came out, and he landed on the counter, covered in saliva and the acid, and he sat up, as strings of saliva dripped off him. She stood back up and gave him a small white towel and turned around, with her back facing him. "You can change mister." she said. He was quiet for a moment, until he replied, "Danke Frau." She nodded her head and he changed into his spare clothing, which is his same clothing and she asked, "Are you done?"
He glanced back at her and lightly smiled and replied, "Ja, I am done." She turned back around and he picked up his bag and pulled out another bag and placed his saliva and acid soaked clothing and placed them inside. "Are you going to join your friends?" she asked, in curiosity. "Ja, I am." he replied, confused of why she asked. "Okay, fine by me." she replied. "Aren't jou going to keep me as a pet? Giantesses do zat venever zey see a borrower." he asked. She giggled and replied, "No, you're actually a friend and a visitor. Why would I do that to a wonderful helper? If I was a mean giantess, I wouldn't be this sweet enough to let you come closer. I would poke you too much, make you my slave, but, those are horrible things that I hate." she relied. He couldn't believe his ears! A giantess hates being rude? "But-" he was going to ask, when she gently shushed him, while her first metallic finger was against her lips. "No more questions. Best if you learn instead of asking." she replied. Then, she gently placed her hand against his back and gently pushed him towards one of the secret doors. "Now, if you don't mind, it will be also best if you see your friends, they might be worried sick for you." she replied, before giggling. He nodded his head and walked over to the door before asking, "One more zhing, vho are jou?" She lightly smiled and replied, "My name is Stephanie Nova Rose Allen. But, you can call me any names that are nice." He nodded his head and opened the door and walked through the door and closed the door behind his back, leaving Stephanie smiling.
