[ Lottie's words of comfort are appreciated all the same, even if they don't fully soothe all of her fears about her new (terrible) appearance. ]
I don't want to shock people though...
[ Even if it's too late for that! Well, there's no point in wallowing in despair now, especially when that won't change anything. She's too busy marveling over Lottie excellent dye job, in any case. ]
I didn't realize you dyed your hair though, Lottie! It looks so natural, just like the Professor's!
[ Because pink and green hair is just a normal thing in ye old Fire Emblem world, apparently.... ]
[ She's a few seconds away from explaining that any change'll shock people, small or otherwise.. But then Annette brings up Lottie's own hair and, well, she can't deny a compliment! ]
Thanks! I get it professionally done but I'm gonna have to do it myself from now on.
[ Said like it's not a problem at all (when it definitely is!!). ]
Your teacher dyes their hair green, too? What shade?
[ She believes in you, Lottie! Surely that will be enough to save any future dye jobs (no it won't).
As for Annette's favorite teacher...Annette tilts her head, lips pursing. ]
Oh, I don't think the Professor dyes it....as least I've never seen her with any sort of dye. She's always just had green hair for as long as I've known her. Just like Archbishop Rhea and Professor Seteth.
[ Why is green hair so common in Fire Emblem....I hate it. ]
[ ...Huh. Lottie isn't going to question Annette thinking dyed hair is real, however she is going to instinctually ask - ]
Really? That many people with green hair? [ She thought she was the true original.. Sheesh!! Also, those all sound like important people?! ] Green hair isn't really that common a color where I'm from..
[ She sits herself down on a nearby chair, as nonchalantly as possible. ]
It's kind of on the same level of obscurity as pink, or blue. The process takes too long!
[ Annette!!! So sweet.. Lottie will be sure to remember her kindness and come over with snacks next time. For now, she takes a second to think, crossing her legs one over the other as she mulls over an answer. Pink and blue hair isn't really uncommon, it's just ridiculously expensive. But that isn't a fun reply, ]
It's an influencer thing! Brand building, you know.
[ Also an investment!! ]
People remember the girl with green hair! Not so much brown or blonde. It's cool and trendy. That's why upkeep is important - dye washes out quick, especially colors like that.
[ She points to her freshly dyed hair - ]
I think in maybe a month your head should be okay!
[ Influencer? Brand building? They're words and phrases Annette has heard snippets of during all her time spent with Lottie - she might not understand the intricacies of Lottie's dayjob, but she's at least bright enough to know that Lottie is A Big Deal where she comes from. (And, well, why wouldn't she be? With that perfect figure, that shock of wavy green hair, those perfectly manicured nails...everyone should think Lottie to be nothing short of amazing!
Annette is a Lottie simp, as it turns out.) ]
A month…? I guess that's not too bad.
[ She's suffered bad haircuts for as long, surely she can get through a bad dye job this once. ]
Oh, but if it washes out so quickly, does that mean you have to constantly redye your hair? That must be such a pain...
[ Lottie has so much hair too….how many boxes of green hair dye must she need?! ]
[ There's no easy, awesome and quirky™ way to put it: it is a pain, especially when her hair naturally is so dark. Annette looks like someone who wouldn't mind maybe adventuring a little with her hair, and while Lottie doesn't want to mislead her.. She also doesn't want to lie, so she settles for a nice inbetween in the form of everything she tells her fans: ]
Beauty is pain! And pain is beauty.
[ Boom!! Hah! That was cool as hell! ]
Nothing good in life comes easy, and that includes changing your appearance.
[ And, as if to prove a point, Lottie asks with an expression that screams she just hit a stroke of genius, ]

I'm sure there must be more than just them....although I haven't really seen green hair outside the monastery.
[ Maybe it's a church thing?? She'll look into it one day, if she ever makes it back home. ]
But that makes you more special then, doesn't it? You're the only person with green hair outside of the people I know from home.
[ So don't worry, Lottie will be forever special in her heart. ]
Are there not a lot of people with pink and blue hair either then?

How long did it take you to apply that dye?
