[Its been a while after the Training Exercise gone wrong. Leos somehow managed to get out of the battle with the Jenice he used more or less unscathed. On the other hand, mentally he was even more worse off than before. Seeing Seta get torn apart and devoured by the BETA like that was not good for his sanity, already precarious as it was. Her inhuman ability to come back from that 'death' didn't really help much at all.]
...
[Currently he was in the mess hall, just stirring the contents of his bowl. He was at the odd paradox of being hungry yet being unable to eat. Then he looked at his meal, his mind drifting off and growing unfocused. The person doling out the meals was going to regret giving Leos a bowl of Spaghetti-Os because they were pressed for time and couldn't be bothered to give him something that wouldn't cause his mind to snap because from Leos' perspective the dull orange colored sauce slowly shifted into the hue of freshly spilled blood and the pasta turned into a multitude of eyes that suddenly had mouths form below them and rush forward to try tear his face off-]

AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!
[-which led to him literally slapping the bowl away and possibly burning himself in the process before he scrambled off to a small, enclosed spot to force himself into/under and just curl up tightly.]

"Hello Leos, would you like to come out? I know that the last mission was hard and you saw something REALLY scary but everything turned out okay right? Why don't you come out and we'll get something else to eat since that didn't sit well with you. Maybe some Ice cream or something else sweet? I've heard from a little birdie that you have a bit of a thing for pudding..."

[A soft shuffle from where he was. He really didn't want to leave his hiding spot right now... but... pudding... he was so conflicted right now.]

[Leos was a little wary, but being around other people and sharing some pudding was pretty appealing. Doing his best to ignore the serious case of jitters he had he shuffled out of his hiding spot, looking around anxiously. No monsters around... as long as his mind doesn't wander too much he should be fine... maybe.]
.. Is... is it always that scary..? Fighting them?

"I wish I could say no to that question honey but they're like that every time. I've lost a lot of good friends and I'm sure if you could get Tarisa and VG to talk about it they'd say the same thing. But at least this time we got lucky and it was someone who had a means to defend herself from that attack so we should be happy that nobody was seriously hurt. Now with that aside are you good to walk or would you like to sit down for a moment before we head out?"

"We can sit here for as long as you need to. Just calm down and take a deep breath, everything is gonna be alright and everyone is safe and happy. Just relax alright."
[Stella maintains the embrace throughout and after she finishes speaking starts to softly hum a soothing melody.]
