[Evil Tink]

Jaelynn just about slapped him, but did not want to touch him, "Look, I'm not here about that, just relax. I have a question for you. Have you made any hats lately? Ones that look like Serus's?" She quickly put Seth's hand down, shaking her head, "He'll shake it, but you don't want him to. It's alright, he's used to it."

Fredrick tilted his head, "Hats? I don't think so...ah! Actually, I have. It was a bit smaller, more like a bowl hat rather than a top hat. A rose and striped ribbons adorned it. I think it was about..seven years ago?" He touched his finger to his chin, slightly insulted as Jaelynn moved Seth's hand, "Now that's just rude. So I run a body farm for the local police and smell like shit. Sue me. I make good money."

He waved his hand a bit, shaking the matter off, "Back to the hat...I remember the girl who ordered it. She was strikingly similar to someone I know...and now that you're here, I'm thinking she looked a lot like Serus. Except, when I met her, her hair was a very light brown, almost white. I can't recall what she said her name was, but she was bent on getting a hat made. She wanted it done in one night! She wouldn't leave me be until it was finished."

He held out his hand, muttering softly to himself. Suddenly, a tome appeared in his hand. Unlike vampires, a wizard was usually forced to mutter his spell aloud. A huge disadvantage. "Let me see if I grabbed a picture of it." He flipped through the pages, then stopped, showing Jaelynn and Seth the picture of the woman wearing her hat. Like he said, in this picture her hair was a very pale brown, not yet white. "Is that the hat?"

Jaelynn snatched the tome, holding it close for Seth to get a better view, "It's unmistakable. That's the hat she was wearing, right?" Something about the woman's brown hair bothered her. Then it hit her, "I think Serus had auburn hair before it lost color..."
