( Emil wants Lalli to have nice things. Jude is a nice person. This should be simple!!! How can he connect Idea A to Solution B. )
Oh! Jude -- your world has spirits and the like, right? Lalli's a mage, so he's interested in things like that! You can talk about all that magical jargon I have no idea about.
I don't know if that will do the trick -- but if you talk about something you have mutual experience in, and it's what he's best at, then that shouldn't have anything to do with talking down to him.
