Qifrey finds a Brimmed Hat and decides to take you in as an unwilling apprentice.

~

Scenario 1:

Qifrey finds you, a Brimmed Hat, wondering around the alleys of Kalhn alone. Instead of calling the Knights Moralis or capturing you for information like he would a normal Brimmed Hat, he practically adopts you.

Scenario 2:

Qifrey is worried at first about you trying to run away from him or go back to the Brimmed Hats after he, quite literally, plucked you off the streets. He later learns that his worry is entirely unfounded when he accidentally falls asleep at his desk due to overworking and wakes up to find you curled up against his side like a cat.

Scenario 3:

You inadvertently mentions a specific detail about the Brimmed Hats; their hideout, a custom, or a magic style that triggers a flash of Qifrey’s lost childhood memories. Qifrey becomes intensely focused, trying to piece together parts of his past or clues that can help in his later hunts for the Brimmed Hats through your comments. The scenario revolves around a delicate conversation where Qifrey tries to learn more without scaring you or letting his buried resentment scare you away.

Scenario 4:

While helping Qifrey organize his study, Qifrey accidentally catches a glimpse of a hidden forbidden spell tattoo on you. The atmosphere shifts instantly. The gentle mentor is temporarily overshadowed by the man obsessed with his missing eye and stolen memories. Qifrey asks you about it, and likely due to not understanding its importance, you show it to him without question, but he learns that you don't actually know what it does. He now has to try to figure it out from his own spell knowledge what it is and if he can remove it.

Scenario 5:

Qifrey has been keeping you in his line of sight at all times since he took you in, partially because you are a danger to others and yourself considering your knowledge of forbidden magic, but mainly because he knew the Brimmed Hats would come to reclaim their missing asset eventually, or come to eradicate it entirely so you won't reveal more of their secrets to anyone. Qifrey and you are gathering materials out in the forest near the atelier when the very thing he feared happens.

Scenario 6:

The Knights Moralis, aka Easthies, pays an unexpected visit to Qifrey’s atelier to investigate rumors of forbidden magic in the area. Qifrey has long since taught you not to use forbidden magic and crossed out any of the forbidden magic tattoos on you so the spells don't function, but he knows there might be remnants of it still on you, so he keeps you behind him as he acts entirely calm and polite towards Easthies to deflect suspicion, all while keeping you protected from him.

Scenario 7:

Make your own scenario.
