I'm... I'm okay, Mom, really. It's no big deal, I promise. I can figure my way around! [ the smile is sweet and honest, the kind that says please don't worry about me more than it says i can take care of myself; jade's never been good at letting someone see she was anything but okay. it's been a problem from day one, when she came home from school and knew she was the "poor kid."
there's no resentment, though, just genuine love and a hope that she won't be a burden. ]
And I'll call and see about an eye exam, I think that they might have to make it for tomorrow but one day without them won't be so bad!
You can't be that optimistic — that's not in your DNA. [ aka her parents are shit. ] I need you to be careful - if this happened overnight... what the hell else could happen?
[ She's frustrated and that much is obvious in her voice. ]
I'll call about the eye exam, you worry about getting dressed properly.
Oh yes, I'm worrying over nothing. [ The sarcasm reads there, mainly because it's one part teasing and one part forcing herself to believe it. ] Just — just don't go anywhere hold on —
[ And she walks away for the time being to the other side of the room to call their eye doctor. Thus, unless Jade wants to keep sassin' her, things move.... quickly to get them glasses. ]

Fiiiiiine. I bet it'll be completely fine, and then you will admit that you're worried over nothing! I can see color just fine, you know.
