A/N: Inspired by the scene I'm writing for Disconnect chapter 8 right now. I'm sure every glasses wearer has experienced annoyances of the sort described.
Background: Joe has abilities with water.
Yolei grumbled as they trudged across the swamp. "It's raining… I hate having to deal with rain," she muttered as she wiped the water from her glasses. "And I can't see anything either. If we weren't trying to sneak in, this'd be so much easier, we could just fly… I should have worn contacts, maybe I should get out the goggles…"
"It'll be okay," Joe shrugged as he marched beside her. "Once we get to the stone towers, we should be fine."
She glanced up at him. He seemed to be in a rather pleasant mood, going along as though it were everyday life.
"I know you like rain," she commented, "But you're awfully nonchalant about this."
"It's nice. It's not really storming at all – if we weren't on a mission, this might be the sort of weather I'd take a walk in."
Yolei glared. He was missing the point. "What are you talking about? The rain hits our glasses and we can't even see, you would know too glasses wearer – oh."
She realized, through the wet blurs of the lenses before her, that Joe had absolutely no difficulty seeing.
"… you know," she said conversationally, "if you're gonna' use your crest power to keep your glasses dry, you could do the same for me."
Joe blinked.
"Oh… oh! Aagh, sorry!"
He apologized rather profusely for his obliviousness and quickly helped her.
