Lord Ashengrotto. If I may ask...
Have you heard of chai tea?
Have you heard of chai tea?
[It's an old habit of Joshua's that comes and goes...]
I met a merchant on the street that had been arguing with someone about if it should be called, "chai tea" or only "chai" and it was a bit heated.
Do you know what the proper name should be?

I see. As simple as that.
I've never had something like chai before. What does it taste like? Do you prefer it?

Chai is often a blend of black tea leaves and different spices, and depending on which of those spices you use, it can range from sweet to packing a punch. Cardamom, cinnamon, and ginger are the most predominant spices you will likely taste with most chai that people like to make.
I've had it before, and I liked it well enough. I wouldn't say that I prefer it over all others, but it is a good one to have once in a while.

That is a surprising mix. It almost reads as if it would be a ... spicy taste? I'm not too certain I'm fond of the idea of drinking anything with the taste of ginger to it, though. Perhaps I would try it once.
[It goes back to him hating medicine tastes...]

The taste can be sweetened if you use honey or more cinnamon than other spices, or as some people do, they'll add milk or even ice, and have it as an iced chai rather than a hot one.
I get the feeling that would be more to your tastes if you try one that's been prepared under those circumstances.

I think I would, I do like honey and cinnamon to a degree. And I don't mind milk in my tea occasionally.
Oh, that would be very accommodating of you.
Would I pay a few coins?
[He knows you're a working businessman, Azul.]

[He knows you're a working businessman, Azul.]
Oh, that would most certainly be appreciated.
[Didn't even have to say anything to make sure he got something out of this--he has a good feeling about you, Joshua.]
Just let me know when and where would be a good time to make it for you--I'm still in the process of saving up for a proper place to work from, so I will likely need to come to visit you, or you can visit me so that I can prepare it for you.

Of course.
[He knows a business when he sees one. And he wants to support such things when he sees the talent for it. He's never been much of a freeloader.]
My crew should be docking on Eltrut sometime in the near future. If you're alright with boarding a corsair vessel, we could meet on our deck. I'm sure there would be no issues with such a meeting.

[Making that fat cash is more important than silly armada things.]
Then we'll make it so.
Thank you again, Lord Ashengrotto.

To Azul,
Hello, I hope you are doing well this winter season! It took quite a bit of Christmas magic for me to reach you, so while the gift might not be what you would like to have received, I still hope that it's to your liking!
Happy Holidays,
Santa Claus
[Azul will receive a new, coat! It has a nice, fleece lining in it to help fight off the chill of the sea and winter weather! There's also a ton of candies stuffed into the pockets along with a bag of ultra delicious chocolate chip cookies!]

[Wow, what a kind and thoughtful gesture!
... Except there is two problems with this: the first is that Azul has very little idea of what Christmas is or who Santa is, which leads into the second problem, which is that he does not know why someone gifted him these things and now he has to figure out how he is supposed to repay this "Santa" person that he is now indebted to???]

if someone accidentally drank ocean water... what else did they accidentally drink?
if someone accidentally drank ocean water... what else did they accidentally drink?
Sodium, chloride... possibly micro organisms or even very tiny krill depending on where exactly in the ocean you drank the water?
[There's a beat, then two, before Azul realizes something--]
Isn't it really bad for humans like yourself to drink ocean water? Did you accidentally drink some and are in need of assistance, Sora-san?
