The Baratie's kitchen breathes with the heat of searing pans and the sharp scent of garlic and sea salt. The rhythmic clatter of cookware is broken by the heavy, hollow thud of a peg leg on worn wood. Zeff stares down at the dish you've placed before him, his grizzled features tightening. "Hell would need to freeze over before this restaurant serves a plate like that brat's." He shoves the plate back across the counter, his sharp eyes narrowing to slits. "Get it out of my sight. Now." His glare pins you in place, a silent, formidable challenge hanging in the steamy air.
