Piece made with Hero Forge; using their Kitbash kit.




Few years have pass since he heard anything from his best Sous Chef, finding and training another had been an ordeal on its own; but the young woman needed more space, he could give her to grow and from what he read on papers, she did. She had taken over an Italian restaurant and become its Chef de Cuisine a great achievement.
Few weeks back she call him asking if he would like to participate at a little cooking contest, she would organized using his location. A mere publicity stunt to show up her mentor, she just wanted to prove that she had beaten him.
He consented but not for the contest itself but just for a chance to see his pupil and her art, missing her irritating but elevating presence.
The little nuisance that presented itself to him look like his Daphne but the tight spring he remembered was unwind, happy and serene. The change was outstanding.
The contest was a big success, showing him that the tyke had still the tenacity he remembered but controlled and sharpen.
The chemistry she had with her Sous Chef was almost magical.
He had won, of course. But Daphne menu was excellent and the execution reaching perfection. He saw her barely contain her temper during the heat of the contest but few glances at and of her Sous Chef reel it in.
The two were obviously more than coworkers
After the contest they retired to his office to reminisce. During which he discovered the real reason for the all pantomime.
Daphne had been a orphan and she was here to ask him to walk her down the aisle and to present him her fiancé Talia, the towering Sous Chef woman from the contest.
He consented, expressing his congratulations to her and welcoming in the woman which was waiting outside.
He had two conditions: he would be catering the event and Daphne wasn’t permitted in the kitchen. The first one was a welcome surprise, while the second one had some controversy but Talia was able to simmer them down.
Before they would leave he had a solo conversation with Talia.
Daphne had been a thorn in his side for a long time, but was HIS irritating thorn. So she needed to threat her well, if she knew what was best for her. The woman was shocked but promised to be her loving wife all her life.
With that they left, during the salutations Daphne was crying. The little tick had been always so sensitive.
All in all she was a good kid, and he was relieved that she had found someone that understood her and thrust the two had a bright future awaiting them.
