Within the hours that followed, and the full blanket of the starry sky over the world as they knew it, tents began to prop up around Carne Village. The Warrior Troop was staying the night and it seemed so was Jack, in an effort to relieve the Village people and the troops.

Standing beneath a massive white and blue striped canopy, Jack had set up a makeshift cafeteria with portable benches and plastic trays. It was fully equipped with a self-sufficient kitchen.

"And here I thought you were going to leave me at home!" Eve snapped as she was standing on a small step stool in front of the stove topped counter.

"Was definitely thinking about it," Jack snickered as he glanced over at his sister from behind the serving table. His eyes then focused in front of him as he noticed the Troops and Villagers gathering around the tent.

"Grab a tray and line up for some fresh grub!" He'd shout, motioning them over with his hands above his head. His wings folded behind his back as he grinned slightly.

Gazef, the Chief of the Village along with Enri cautiously walked into the canopy, looking over all the items. Then their eyes laid on the trays.

"What are these made out of, Cipher-Dono?" Gazef asked as he looked over at the armored Angel with a brow raised slightly as he stood at the end of the metal tray track.

Cipher just crossed his arm, "Hardened Plant Polymers."

Gazef blinked and nodded slightly, bending it ever so slightly in his hands before placing it down on the track.

Enri watched, listening along with the Chief. She would pick up a tray herself and smell it. The item didn't smell like a plant, it didn't really have all that much of a distinctive smell either. "Hm.." Her eyes moved to her savior with curiosity. Then towards the girl who was at the stove top and blinked a few times. "Who's that?"

Jack chuckled a little, "My little sister..." Though his voice faded out slightly when he had called her his sister. Realistically, she was just an imitation made from his memories.

"My name's Eve!" She'd announce, flinging a metal spoon into the air, before catching it and continuing to stir whatever was in the pot on the stove.

"Nice to meet you, Eve." Enri smiled seeing those warm blue eyes. She was getting a general idea of what Jack might look like beneath that helmet of his. It felt strange that he hadn't taken it off yet, but he must have his reasons, right?

Seeing the three people who were generally in charge, the Vice-Captain lead the rest of the warriors and the villagers to the Canopy. Women and Children lining up behind the Chief of the Village.

Nemu immediately running up behind her sister and snatching a tray, "Hehe!" Then when she turned her head, she saw a young girl in the Kitchen near Jack. "Oh, who's that!?" She'd ask with a blatant and adorable squeal.

Jack shook his head and placed a hand on Eve's head. "My little sister," his voice didn't really fade out this time. He was getting used to it by the second time around. "Her name's..."

"EVE!" His sister would bounce on the stool with a giggle, waving the spoon in the air before looking over towards Nemu. "Hai~"

So as Gazef came up to the serving table, his eyes traced over the foreign gourmet foods. Salisbury steak with gravy, succulent mashed purple potatoes, french fries, fried chicken strips, broccoli and garlic. There were tons of things to choose from, it was almost as if it was a King's feast. Even the Head Warrior's mouth was filling with saliva from all the smells.

"Who made all of this?" Gazef asked, before his eyes moved to the only other person in the kitchen.

"You are correct," Jack pointed to his little sister with his thumb, "The majority of her production skills are honed to a high regard."
