[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.]

We're not like those silly owls in your movies who can't even talk.

[He's slowly feeling the whole situation out. Its so very surreal. As such he's carefully moving a finger to boop Chika on the beak to see if the bird was real.]

Got that righ-mmmmph!
[As real as you can feel it, Leos.]

Are you here to help me Miss Magic Bird?
From:

[She raises a feather on her free wing, like a finger.]
Don't worry though, I'm not going to ask you to recall anything. That's why magic is convenient!
My magic might not be anywhere as strong as my Master's, but I just so happen to have a spell that'll only work if something's happened to you recently. This way, I can look into your memories to see exactly what you saw. If you're okay with that, that is.

[Leos shuffles in place and leans against the back of the hiding place.]
If.... if you're sure go ahead but...

Relax, my body is ready!
It's a win-win situation for you, anyway. At least someone else will have seen what you saw.
Now...

[Yeah about you being ready for that Chika? You probably really weren't. Because the gory details were just that. Very very gory. Horrific dismemberment, lots of teeth and blood, shredded flesh and organs... soon followed by an eldritch thing forming from the blood which was pretty much the only thing left after the BETA were done before it proceeded to eat THEM.]

[Surprisingly, after the whole horror show is over (she even lets out bird like chirps of shock throughout the experience), Chika looks back at you. She definitely wasn't prepared for that, but being a magic creature herself, she fares a little bit better.
Her gaze however, is very sympathetic.]
Hey, kid.

[Leos anxiously awaits Chika's response. He wasn't even sure what to expect from the bird. Would it keep him from ever piloting again? Would he find himself tossed into an asylum?]
From:
no subject
[The bird...places a wing on your foot. Like a person would put a hand on your shoulder.]
You've seen some shit.
[She proceeds to sit where she's been standing, and do the equivalent of curling up into a ball, which is to say, looking like a sleeping bird.
It'll take a bit for her to recover from this. But hey, at least you have company that understands.]
