Inlay Help Now... Contingency Up!

So I did an inlay using some curly maple with padauk for the inlay. I used a vector laser cutter to cut the template in both. I did the wood whisperer inlay method with the 1/16" bit. During the planing of the final product, a chunk of the padauk came out. AHHH!

I can just go back and route out the original pattern, but what could I put in there? I have some epoxy, and I was thinking about mixing in some of this, that, whatever. But I've never done it. I spent some time on that fleur de lis and i'd hate to junk that piece of maple. Its quite nice.

Ideas anyone?

I can replace the inlay, yes. But I need to go back to the engraver which is at work. I'm on a tight schedule because they are cutting my femur in half Wednesday and I was trying to make a lot of headway today before the wife and kids come back from Alaska tomorrow.
It looks like it'll just have to wait a few months.
