Simon blinked behind his goggles. Normally, he wouldn’t question a thing his ‘brother’ did (often because he knew he wouldn’t like the answer), but…

“Kamina? What is that?”

“—Oooi, Simon, how many times d’ I have to tell you? It’s ‘brother!’” And he was given a sharp, large grin, just as pointy and bright as those things the other was wearing.

Another blink and pause, before Simon pushed up his goggles; instantly, the reflective orange surface dulled as the light was pulled away, and the ten-year-old leaned in closer to see what, exactly, had made Kamina crawl all the way through his tunnel. By the way the other kept tilting his head left and right and flicking his nose, Simon figured the older boy expected a dropped jaw and praise.

He wasn’t really impressed, though.

“They don’t light up.”

Aha, so the other had been digging for compliments. Kamina’s face crumbled for a moment – only a moment! – before frowning in a rather exaggerated way, and Simon could vaguely make out the other’s red eyes behind the – well, he supposed they were glasses, although dysfunctional ones – and his not-really-brother had that I’m about to inform you of life’s facts look.

“Of course they don’t light up! That’s what yours do. You lead the way, drill as surely as you were born- to the heavens!”

That was another thing Kamina had gotten more and more obsessed with, but Simon just shifted a bit (his arms were becoming numb), eyebrows drawing together in open confusion. He really wanted to figure the Mystery of the Orange Glasses out before the Chief discovered Kamina was distracting him. Again.

“Then what do yours do?”

Another grin, only this time his not-really-at-all-brother took a moment to pull his goggles down over his eyes once more, the light bouncing around before reflecting steadily on those glasses.

“They make me look cool and like a man, obviously! Not that I need it.”

Simon opened his mouth to reply to that (still not impressed), but then they both flinched and turned tail as the Chief's voice reverberated down the tunnel. They couldn't stay a long, long time down in the ground, but they both knew the Chief couldn't fit in the tunnel, and so they stayed as long as possible - Simon in the lead, Kamina flashing orange right behind.
