The unicorn waved off his concern with a hoof. "Don't worry about it." She was feeling better by now, the dizziness having been minor and passed quickly; not something to be concerned about. "It just messed with my spell a bit is all; nothing big."

She waited there for a while so that Mitsugi could explain the dishes that poniesl ike her could eat. He was right, there weren't exactly a lot out there, but he mentioned on dish that sounded good. "That Mushroom Fried Rice sounds like something I'd eat, I'll have that."

Mitsugi nodded, pulling out the order scroll and jotting down their orders. He held it up when he finished, allowing the waitress to return and take it again before turning back to Galaxy.

"That's a good choice. Even I enjoy it from time to time." he remarked. Mitsugi took a drink, swirling the glass around before setting it back down.

"So, I'm curious, what exactly got you interested in predators? Most ponies wouldn't go near them unless they had to, but you actively seek them out. Rather odd, if you ask me."

Galaxy gave a non-response in the form of a grunt; letting him know that she was listening to him but lacked the way to properly respond. She likes mushroom, so she hoped that would be a good choice for her.

"The predator thing is something I think we talked about last time. As I recall, I told you that- back when I could still see- I was always reading books about dragons and gryphons and the like. For whatever reason, I just liked them more than other foals did at my age. I even wondered why the princesses in the towers wanted to get away from the dragons and leave with the knights that came. I think at one point I came to the conclusion that all the knights were just jealous since they couldn't find a girl dragon for themselves...

"Yeah, I'm not going to try and pretend that wasn't a stupid idea. I was a foal, what do you expect?"

"Right, right..." Mitsugi said, nodding.

"Sorry, a lot's been going on and I haven't been able to remember things as well as before... well, before Pundani." he said, a hint of shame creeping into his voice. Mitsugi sighed, looking down and downing the rest of his drink.

"Lord Ra... He spoke to me, when I recovered..." Mitsugi said soberly.

"Did I... Did I really... kill... one of our allies?" he asked, his voice shaky and uncertain.

It really should have occurred to her that this would have come up sooner or later, what with how he was acting and all. Not that she could steer the whole thing away from it now, but she was berating herself for not seeing it sooner. Time to just get the whole thing over with before he went full on existential crisis over killing somepony.

"From what I've heard, yeah. I don't really know the story, but it probably has something to do with the whole 'fighting a god of madness and nightmare'. Even I was affected, I'm pretty sure I hit you with a magic missile at one point and was attacking anyone I could somehow trace back to Apep. Very few of us were thinking straight in the battle, so you can't blame yourself for that. Plus, you're a predator; it's hardly a bad thing that you acted like it."

Mitsugi sighed, rubbing his forehead and his eye.

It wasn't so much that he'd hurt someone; that happened in war- it was the fact that he had succumbed to the madness so easily and completely that he had had no compunction on doing so, and he had stayed that way for so long... Was he really worthy of being a vassal for Lord Ra?

Mitsugi lowered his head to the table, raising his glass for a refill.

"I've shamed Lord Ra. When all around me stood tall, I alone succumbed but survived."

Galaxy dropped her head to the table with a loud 'thump', unable to believe what she was hearing. At least half of what she'd said had gone completely over the kirin's head in favor of more self-pitying, this was frustrating to say the least. "Did you not hear the part about the whole 'God of Madness' part of things? There were a grand total of, I think, one pony that missed out on even some sort of insanity. You can be excused for losing it when there's something messing around with your head. And if he doesn't, then he can go buck himself; I don't care if he is a god, he can still buck himself. Stop beating yourself up for something that you have literally no control over."

"Galaxy, you didn't kill any of our allies or altogether lose yourself to the madness." Mitsugi pointed out.

"I don't even remember most of the battle after Apep showed up. I remember my head starting to hurt, then a rush of rage, and then... Nothing. Absolutely nothing. And from what Lord Ra told me, even you were more effective than I."

"And by all rights, I should be dead thanks to Apep. He was trying to kill all unicorns present and other magic users; one only got off because he passed out and didn't take the full-brunt of it, and I just have abnormally high mental magic resistance. I'm an anomaly, I'm not something that you can take as the rule in this case. Apep is literally divinely capable of driving others to madness and death; he has an entire mental condition named after him for that. The fact that you don't remember anything from it means that you were not in control of your actions and therefore are not accountable for them

"Stop trying to make yourself more miserable because you're not bucking perfect and couldn't resist a god forcing you into madness. Nothing and no one in the world COULD!"

Mitsugi sighed, closing his eyes...

And when he opened them, a feeling of confusion washed over him.

".......... Huh. I don't remember putting my head down..." he mumbled to himself as he raised his head. Rubbing the side of his head, he glanced down at his drink.

".... Wasn't I... Nevermind." he said, taking a sip. "So... I'm sorry, I just blanked out, I suppose. What were we talking about?"

Galaxy's head met the wooden table again, and she considered introducing them repeatedly afterward. Whatever had happened with Mitsugi's mind, it seemed to still be affecting him. She made a mental note to find someone that actually knew how to use mental magic, maybe they could help him get over this whole thing when there was nothing that he could have done.

"Never mind, just... never mind." Her spell told her that a pegasus was fluttering over to them with a tray; that would be their meals then, so she lifted her head as they reached them. "Let's just eat."

Mitsugi looked curiously at Galaxy, then nodded.

"Alright. I really am sorry; I've been having those blank spots in my memory since I woke up in the everfree yesterday." Mitsugi turned and thanked the waitress, smiling as he looked to the table.

"Eat up! Itadakimasu!"

Having next to no understanding of mental magic (the spells were too complex for most), Galaxy could only nod at this. Whatever was messing with him, if there even was something messing with him, it was also screwing up his memories of the times that it flared up. "If that's really the case ,that you should consider finding a practicing mental mage and therapist to figure out what's wrong with you. Having random blackouts without pattern is kind of serious."

Sense she was a unicorn, she levitated up the silverware provided to them an took an experimental bite of the dish. Deciding that, even if it was different, it didn't taste bad, she dug into the meal without another word.

Mitsugi nodded.

"I think I will. Can you tag along with me, Galaxy? I've never really trusted those mental mages as easily as I can others- all to easy for them to plant suggestions that I probably wouldn't like, you know?" he asked, tucking into his own food.

"Hm, this is good. It's been awhile since I've had this stuff."

It was a rather large mystery to Galaxy how she was supposed to do anything be being there. Even with her self-admitted resistance to mental magic, it wasn't something that worked the normal way most resistances did. Mental Magic worked best when the mind wasn't resisting; that was when they could work best and alter more easily, same with implanting things like her was afraid. However, thanks to the way she 'saw' magic with her spell, she was always aware of it and could work to resist it and even counter it with her trick. However, he was afraid and needed some form of reassurance; might as well give him that so he could get the help he needed. "Sure thing; I'll clear my schedule when you make the appointment."

She quietly ate her own meal, lacking any really opinion since she was still trying to figure out exactly what it tasted like. "Just make sure you get it soon; you need it."
