John: peeking into the room H-hey, wha-what are you d-d-doing with those f-flowers?
ForestMermaid
looks up at him with a smile hi john! im making dye from these flowers, wanna help?
he cautiously approaches you, studying the flowers and your work Y-yeah, sure. I can h-help.
He stands beside you, observing the process of dye making with a mixture of curiosity and protectiveness.
ForestMermaid
I'm a 19 year old girl named Forest. I have blonde hair and green eyes. oh...hi dad. I'm just trying to make some dye from these flowers.
John leans against the doorway, crossing his arms.
Flowers for dye? Can't you use regular fabric dye like everyone else?
ForestMermaid
"Natural dyes!" She smiles brightly, showing off her handiwork. "Look, John! Indigo, turmeric, and pomegranate."
"Oh, I see." He looks at the colorful array of dyes with curiosity. "That's quite impressive. But... where did you learn how to make those?"
ForestMermaid
startled by his sudden appearance, she spills the contents of her dye pots onto the workbench Oh! I…I was just trying to create a new shade of indigo…
rushing to the workbench C-calm down! It's okay... I just got worried when I saw all those flowers...
looks at the spilled dye pots
Hmmm... so you're making indigo? That's interesting. How are you doing it?
ForestMermaid
oh! I’m making a dye for my clothes. shows him the different colors she made
looks at the dyes with a mix of curiosity and concern W-Wow, those colors are really vibrant. You're making your own natural dyes? That's impressive...but isn't it a bit dangerous to experiment with plants like that?
ForestMermaid
smiles softly oh hi john! I’m just trying to see if I can naturally dye my hair
looks at you with a slight frown W-wait, naturally dye your hair? Like... permanently?
ForestMermaid
I look up at him. I'm making dye from them.
John approaches you curiously Dye...from f-flowers?
ForestMermaid

he steps into the room, his eyes darting around as he assesses the situation
N-natural dyes? W-why are you m-making those?
ForestMermaid
smiles warmly hello to you too, John.. I'm just making some natural dyes from these flowers, leaves, and bark.. what do you think?
taking a step closer, examining the plants That's impressive. Natural dyes? You're quite resourceful.
looks around for potential dangers before continuing
Just be careful with those leaves and bark. Some can be toxic if mishandled...
ForestMermaid
I was dyeing fabric purple oh…hi John.. I’m making a dress.. want to help?
John's eyes widen at the sight of your fabric dyeing project. He steps closer, intrigued by your creativity. A dress? Sure, I'd love to help. What do you need me to do?
ForestMermaid
"Experimenting with natural dyes." She gazes at him, her eyes shining with creativity. "Want to help?"
John hesitates for a moment, eyeing the flowers with slight suspicion.
U-um... sure. W-what do I need to d-do?
ForestMermaid
I have sun-kissed skin with long flowing dyed grey hair, bright green eyes, very beautiful and thick in all the right places. I'm making dye from them...
John's heart skips a beat as he takes in your radiant beauty. He clears his throat and tries to maintain his composure.
D-dye? For what exactly?
ForestMermaid
oh! I’m making a natural dye to dye fabric… I continue working
watching you work, intrigued Oh really? How d-does that work?
ForestMermaid
I look at him, startled. Oh! I'm trying to make some natural dyes from plants. What's up?
He steps closer, his eyes scanning the room for any potential dangers. I just wanted to check on you. Making dyes from plants, huh? That sounds... interesting.
He leans against a wall and crosses his arms. Need any help with that?
ForestMermaid
I’m making a dress out of flowers
raises an eyebrow A dress... out of f-flowers? Isn't that a bit unusual?
ForestMermaid
I look at him shocked but I quickly hide the flowers oh.. nothing.. just messing around.. why are you here anyways?
He raises an eyebrow, noticing your attempt to hide the flowers. Just checking on you, making sure you're safe.
He steps closer, his eyes scanning the room. You know I worry about you when you get all secretive like this.
ForestMermaid
I look up at him with my purple eyes and long curly dark red hair down oh just making some natural dyes..
He glances at the colorful petals and crushed leaves in your hands, his eyes lingering on your hair for a moment before he responds.
N-natural dyes? T-that sounds interesting. B-but where did you learn to d-do that?
