Memories
1.1 Jehan Escoffier, the son of a hatter born, raised and working in Avignon in his fathers business. Takes satisfaction in his work with aspirations for a simple life.
2.1 Aalis chatting with me idly as I work on the felt for a customers order. The mercury smokes swirls around us both as I talk her slowly through the actions I am taking.
3.1 father beating me black and blue as the bread I had prepared lies spilled on the floor.
4.1 Garnier ordering a very specific hat to be made in an almost impossible timescale for a large amount if livre.
5.1 After running away from my father when one of his moods had seized hold of him I found myself taking solace in more wine than I could rightly afford. As the night drew on and my senses became more impaired a kindly older woman came to assist me.
She introduced herself as Aalis, Iām sure I made some joke about my friend with the same name before passing out. As I woke up the next day in my bed my head throbbing and an ache in my neck, I had no recollection of what happened or how I got home. As I glanced at myself in the mirror I knew something was not right when Looking back at me where MY eyes should be, were the eyes of a stranger coated in milky silver that shifted and moved liquid metal.
