That night, Lucius had his hands full, cooking with ingredients from another universe—stuff that didn't even exist on Earth. But his cooking instincts and talent were razor sharp. He was just a caterpillar, so everyone helped while he prepped food for the whole group.
Niara and the two Summoners ate nonstop, like it was the best thing in the world. Technically, because of their powerful bloodline, the Mannaz didn't need to eat or sleep. But going too long without it made them seriously stressed. Plus, eating and sleeping helped their bloodline recover a lot faster.
Besides using a bit of their partner's power to perform martial arts, Summoners also burned a portion of their bloodline every time they fought. The stronger the martial art, the more it consumed. That's why they had to rest now and then.
When Niara noticed Lucius looking kind of desperate, and Lucy looking a bit serious, she stopped eating.
