Description
Farrere so deserved it, as that's one bitchin' soufflΓ©.(I say that to distract from the fact that 90% of my stuff is hugely fluffy.. and this pic doesn't do me any favours on that front)
The Story of Theirry Prouix
So, Thierry has been mentioned twice in the story (no, really, he has.. he was the man Farrere was talking to about potatoes in chapter four, and Farrere told Cam about him in chapter six) ... but up until recently all I had him pinned as was Farrere's extremely-important mentor figure.
This shallowness displeased me, so I've finally gotten around to developing him, seeing as he is supposed to be extremely important.
And he is. His story goes that he was hired as the LeAmi's chef when the family first moved to the Mainland. Throughout Farrere's younger years Theirry was always in the background as a source of kindness and positivity, and then around the age of ten Farrere grew very close to him.
As mentors are wont to do, he taught Farrere about life (and cooking). He was there to pick up the pieces whenever Phil and Constance weren't, and he did so with an easy smile, rapier wit and the whole-hearted gusto only an Enuin *cough* Frenchman possesses.
Regis dismissed Thierry once he'd sent Farrere to boarding school in Nielle when Farrere was thirteen. He'd drawn his own conclusions about Thierry's intentions towards his son. Regis told Farrere the reason for Thierry's dismissal was that Farrere needed to learn his place in society and refrain from getting so close to Imps, but Thierry plans to tell him the truth when he feels Farrere is ready.
Farrere kept in touch with Thierry best he could past his father's scrutiny. When Farrere was eighteen he bought a restaurant in Petit Enoir, the Enuin district, and employed Thierry as the head-chef, all without Regis suspecting a thing.
Thierry will play a small part in the story to come, but you'll see the most of him in flashbacks. Why, there shall even be one in chapter ten c:
ALSO: this is how his name is pronounced [link] (baahahah, oh audio-pronunciation-guide, you entertain me so.. what with your American inflection on a ridiculously French name)
& p.s. ... any Aussies think Thierry looks sliiightly familiar? This is why: [link] omfg Matt Preston = love *glomps him* :3

My guess: Thierry is gay, and Regis found out? Later, when Farrere finally realizes his orientation he will go to Thierry for help, wanting the man to console him, try to get Theirry to convince him that it's not true, but Thierry will come out to Foob to try to make him realize that it's alright and he should accept himself.
....Complete speculation, and I'm probably totally wrong.
...The artis so pretty! How have I never commented on this?

Aaaaaaw! *melts* That is both adorable and sad! D8
Yay character development! And poor Thierry. There are several conclusions I can think of that Farrere's dad mighta made, and I don't believe a-one-a them.

Yeah, you're conclusions would be right, as is your decision not to believe them. Regis was just a bit of a twerp when he was older, is all >_>

I remember trying to explain french pronouciation once and this name came up. I must have looked like an idiot, standing on the sidewalk saying "TEE-AIR-EE" loudly to someone who was obviously a redneck.
That said, did Regis (I wonder how many people mentally pronounce that as Regiz??) think Thierry wanted to touch young Farrere inappropriately? How horrible.
PS: I totally caught onto to the fluff there, my fluff-senses are on high every time I venture into your gallery.

Regis:"A kind middle-aged (I'm guessing) man taking my son under his wing out of the goodness of his heart, teaching him to cook and giving him much need affection...hhhhmmm...Yes, he must be a rapist. I'll have to fire him...After lunch, of course."

Skinny!Farrere!
I SAW HIM ON ROVE! ...And did not understand his cultural significance, but now I do. Clearly M. Prouix had plastic surgery and moved to Australia through his connections with (whatever Farrere's company is called, I appear to have forgotten it), gaining an atrocious (lol) accent on the way, and spent several years as a celebrity chef, enjoying meeting with other short child-men with cute smiles! : D It all becomes clear to me.

Don't worry, single syllable words are difficult for me to say, somehow they always end up being polysyllabic... You'd be Ab-b-b. Em is better than Emmi, which only my boyfriend is allowed to call me. >: |
I think I do have an obsession. At least it's not tricking!

Oh, your inspiration for Thierry is great
He seems like a great mentor for Farrere. And I love the words in the picture. It made me feel warm and fuzzy for Foob.
...He was a lanky kid. But was he tall as well?

Isn't he just?? Most people seem to be divided when it comes to Matt Preston.. I know some of my friends go "ew" when I squee about how adorable and cuddly I think he is. Plus in that interview he said he thought quince was the sexiest food.. and he is beyond correct :3
Farrere had a pretty horrendous lanky stage xDD He started to fill out when he was about sixteen.. but all the while he never stopped growing.. so he was quite tall, yes.. and then ultimately very tall c:

I didn't like the guy at first, but he was funny and nice. And, well, I thought he was pretty cool after that (:
I'm sure that with his skill Farrere pulled off the, 'my-legs-and-arms-and-torso-seem-out-of-proportion', look very well But he's not a giant is he now? Just very tall (:

Funny you should say that xDD Here is a fitting Thierry-quote from the draft of chp 10:
'Let me tell you something about love; you could have the worldβs happiest parents, who love each other deeply, but there is barely anything they can teach you about love. You learn yourself, as you go, and everyone is capable of it. Just like cooking.'
