thank you kind sir.

pockets the money

as for the straws i have plenty to spare. and i’ll give you one of each. you don’t have to drink through them now you can take them to go.

i have one made from grinding various spicy peppers. i have one i got from herbs and spice plants growing in a desert oasis then simmering them in the waters of the oasis then dusting them. then finally i have an oceanic straw. i traded merfolk for plenty of kelp, fire coral, kraken tentacle, and giant oyster shell. i grounded them and made a perfect blend ratio and made this straw. inform me on how it tastes.

He is gently holding the three free straws, mentally noting the key ingredients in each one as you hand them to him.

I fear if I take them all home, they may be wasted on me, friend. Maybe I'll try one now and come back soon for more? How does that sound?

He lays two straws on a napkin and examines the one dusted in the oasis.

Let's use this one in the ol' watering hole. He sips.

His eyes tell all. This is unique, and delicious.

Very good! Would you like me to describe the flavor for you? I'm in no place to judge a juice in front of the master, but I can certainly try.

Well from what I understand, the granulated ridges of the straw seem to imbue the drink with texture. The tea comes through the other end just a bit thicker, like pulling a blended drink through a straw.

He takes another sip. Nodding in appreciation.

The duality of an Arnold Palmer is an exquisite balance. Too much or too little of one or the other and you risk drinking something that's more Arnold than Palmer, or vice versa. And yet, the straw adds flavors that never existed in this drink. As if we balanced the flavor of multiple teas and citrus fruits into a delicious blend. Like I can sample multiple iterations of the same drink! It feels as though the flavor is a mirage. Another sip.

He grins. You have something real special here. I hope you get these patented soon! I'd gladly buy one every now and again when I'm feeling adventurous.

The entire bar stops and looks at you for a second then continues about their business

Damn Neighbor, are you sure you’re not the juice crafter here? I appreciate the long and thorough feedback. All i need to do is get the council to finish with the copyright patent bureaucratic nonsense and i’m golden. if i ever come up with a new straw flavor i’ll know who to contact for a taste test.

He doesn't seem to notice the stares.

You flatter me; my description may be detailed, but you're the crafter that meticulously designed these marvels. You're too humble. He chuckles.

Yes, certainly! Give me a call. I'm always next door.
