AHA!
"The bridge... of your... nose..." Jake repeated back again, keeping a straight face this time as he continued with the paperwork.
"Contact lenses, my friend, are things you put in your eyes rather than wearing glasses all day."
Duh.
Anyway, enough of the 'tude. Jake focused more on his paperwork and eventually, finally,
somehow got it done.
"Here," he said, pushing it back to the goblin and seeing her spectacles.
"You should keep those things on a chain 'round your neck if anything," Jake added.
