Jasper laughed awkwardly, rolling his eyes in disbelief. Thankfully it seemed Merry did not understand what the man referred to by big... Which was all the better, as long as she didn't know he had rather impure thoughts running through his mind when he saw her, there was probably no harm... Right? However, he had to remind himself that he didn't have time to gawk, not when he had work to do... Especially now that it became apparent he was the reason the little goblin got away.<br/><br/>"I know, it's not my brightest moment... But look, if that much is riding on all of this, then you bet your tail I'm gonna give it my all!" He held his fist out, before pounding his pectoral like it was supposed to mean something. "I haven't been in Amberdale for very long, but I've been getting down and dirty trying to make a living here since coming from the forests. Since I made this mess, I'll work for free... Sounds fair?" Of course, no doubt there was a catch involved with that, but if there was one, the man kept his lips sealed on the matter.<br/><br/>Maybe two or more, as he observed the bounding vixen who managed to pull<em>him</em>along. The woman seemed like she was on to something when observing the goblin took an interest in fishes and sailing, but for the life of the man, he couldn't put two and two together. He DID know that goblins could be amazing tinkerers, and so perhaps he planned to build a boat... But if that were the case, would he even be able to read the instructions? Goblins were still a confusing race, and though many of its ladies could be quite cute from the few that tended to pass through his village, the guys were a severely mixed bag of erratic and confusing.<br/><br/>"I didn't know he was a thief, honest! He just told me he was being chased by some 'meaniefur' who wanted his 'flappypages' and ran off, and that's when I saw you chasing him!" Jasper exclaimed... Actually, now that he did, he should have realized something was up when the goblin admitted to knowing the fox wanted the book and not him. The lightbulb seemed to go on over his head, before he let it hang. "Can't believe he pulled the wool over my eyes so easily... Was only trying to be helpful."
