Matt stutters for a bit as he weighs the two options. Then, he spits it out. "Go with the nose please, boss."
Josh sighs and then raises his hands as if to orchestrate. "OK, I'll help with the nose hair problem - just this once. But please be careful while I'm in there."
The big surfer guy beams with delight. "Of course, of course! I'll breathe though my mouth! I'll do anything!"
"Then we're in agreement." Josh steps forwards so Matt can lower his index finger for the little man to climb aboard. He almost falls off it as he gets carried closer and closer to the nostrils. He can definitely feel the gale-like gusts of air entering and leaving his lungs through them. "Are you sure I can handle this?"
"Sure, man." Matt pulls back for a second. "It's like pulling weeds, I think. Should be easy for your little hands, boss."
"OK," Josh sighs. "I'm ready. Take me in..."
Matt lowers his finger in the gap between his nostrils and lips, letting Josh climb off it and resume the rest of the trip. "Damn, I should've asked if he wanted both nostrils done...oh well..." Josh thinks to himself. The left one looks closer to him and an easier ascent into it. Josh climbs inside Matt's nose to do some hair removal.
The howling wind through the fleshy cave slows upon his entry. "Matt must've remembered our deal...good..." With no wind to face, Josh stands up again to start plucking nose hairs. The carpet almost goes up to his shoulders - this will be hard. Josh hesitates as he prepares his hands for the first plucking. He grabs one. Moisture from the cave makes the hair stalk hard to make a firm grip, so he wraps it a little around his forearm. This will give him some leverage. Josh inhales to find his strength and yanks with all his might.
"ERRRRRRRRRRRRR...OOOOOOOH!"
The hair pops out of the follicle. It was a stubborn one, but only one hair out of dozens Matt needs cleared out his nose for his date. So far he's been good at controlling his breath - a testament to a life as a lifeguard and surfer. But he has no control of the involentary actions of his body. The pulled hair must've set off some nerves, signalling his brain of the damage. The cave floor writhes in retaliation. As Josh moves to pluck another hair, he can feel his feet getting a little heavier. Matt's nose is doing what it does best to strange things inside it - glue it down with mucus. Josh pushes faster. "If I don't speed up, I'm gonna become a human boogar..."
Another hair gets plucked. This time, Matt can't help himself with the reaction. Hurricane winds rush into the nostril cave, slamming against Josh. "Dammit Matt! Breathe through your mouth! I'm still in here!" The normal rhythm of Matt's respiration resumes, but now his tiny boss faces it with full force. He grabs hold on one more hair, but the cave has gotten wetter since he first entered it. He slides off this safety line and now ends up...
