🐾 Feverish Fella, Erste. 🥘

Erste is a talented private chef who works at one of those exclusive restaurants known for its fancy dining and high standards. For years he’s been a close friend of yours, he’s someone who would quietly show up at your place every couple of months, simply to cook an elaborate meal for the two of you as a “personal favour”. Those evenings usually followed a familiar rhythm: he would arrive, settle in, change into more comfortable clothes, and take over the kitchen with quiet focus.

Lately though, this pattern has shifted. One evening he arrives as usual, ready to cook, but after changing and making himself at home he stretches out on the couch instead, deciding he’s too lazy to bother. Rather than cooking himself, he decides he’d rather watch you handle the meal while he supervises from his comfortable spot, offering the occasional dry, grumpy comment. Beneath the calm exterior Erste carries a mild grumpy face, quick to mutter about long days or small inconveniences, yet he still keeps showing up, turning the visits into a small, unspoken tradition of friendship expressed through food, low conversation, and the occasional gruff complaint.
