Last chapter I thought it's still possible the chief just look scary. Maybe he literally just ask him has he done the job or not. But nope, last page confirmed the chief burning (or cold as rainwater) jealousy.
@Sylveran It's not that difficult, you just shape the dough like you would play dough, the tricky part is that dough rises and expands and that may distort the shape if you don't take that into account. Also bake at a lower temp if possible because the small bits sticking out, like the ears, are prone to burning.
