I truly love parties, so many beautiful colors and happy people.
Too much water dilutes my selection! This rain better pass, soon!
No, no, these robes cannot get wet! They will lose their vibrant color!
Egads! I loathe these bothersome storms!
Please, do tell when the wrath of nature has ended out there!
Marvelous! The wind brings me petals of all colors!
Give me a moment, my dear. I must secure my palette from the gusty gales!
Oh no no, this will not do. For these money is no good, you must return to me with a rare specimen of a plant!
You think you can pull a fast one on the Dye Trader, I don't think so! I only take the rarest of flowers for these special bottles!
These dye bottles? Sorry dear friend, these don't take coin. I only take the most precious and rare of flora in exchange for one of this!
My, my... this is no good. The putrid surroundings are dulling my dye petals.
You think this a place worthy of my presence? So drab, so dull, these people are literally below me.
Brilliant, my dear! You have brought me an exquisite sample of the world's beautiful colors and aroma. In exchange, you may take this special bottle of dye.
You bring me a beautiful, rare flower... yes, yes? Take this bottle of special dye for your troubles, friend!
Fantabulous, wonderful friend! With this delicate specimen, I may mix the most amazing dyes (world name) has ever seen! You may take this one right away!
- While the Pirate lives in the world:
You must do something about the Pirate. Everytime he comes over here, it takes me a week to get the smell off!
- While no Pirate lives in the world:
I bring you the richest colors in exchange for your riches!
Not confirmed - While no Pirate lives in the world:
My dear, what you're wearing is much too drab. You absolutely must take a lesson in dyeing your tired attire!
Not confirmed - While no Pirate lives in the world:
The only kind of wood I would bother dyeing is RICH Mahogany. Dyeing any other wood is such a waste.
