[he lets go soon enough, letting cloud have his phone back] Tell me you kept them!
[prompto simply offers a duh expression at his brother]
I was you, I'd be wearing those glasses at every single opportunity I could manage. Pretend nothing was off when people looked at me funny or asked 'bout it!
[Though it would honestly be pretty hilarious if he wore them to work one day. Alas, if only that were his personality type, to do such things on a whim.]

[snickers] And I doubt this could be considered anything but excellent creative insight.

[Unsure. But he slips on the shutter shades anyway. They're definitely a bright pink.]
