[Patched up, and changed into a striped shirt and gray slacks besides! His arm is still missing, but the damage to his left jaw and right hand has been healed to leave behind faint scars.

Seated upright in a chair, Sieghart cranes his neck toward Bucky with an easy smile.]

That's right. Virgo's light is quite potent.

[frostythehitman]

Mmm. Not potent enough to fix missing limbs though.

[ercnerd]

It's not a big deal. Once we get out of here, my arm will grow back.

[frostythehitman]

It'll what.

[ercnerd]

As soon as the seal on my body lifts, it'll heal itself, is what I'm saying.

[frostythehitman]

That's...nifty.

Any chance you could copy it onto something else and have it do the same?

[ercnerd]

Are you asking for your arm?

[frostythehitman]

I do find two hands better than just one.

[ercnerd]

So do I.

. . . Unfortunately, it's not something I can share. It's an innate ability exclusive to my blood.

[frostythehitman]

And it won't work if you just sprinkle some on someone or something else?

[ercnerd]

If it were that easy, I would've figured out how to do that by now.

[frostythehitman]

Well damn. Looks like I'm all alone in having no left hand after all.

[ercnerd]

Can't you order a replacement for the one you lost?

[frostythehitman]

What, you think I just get those things from a mail order catalog?

[ercnerd]

Are prostheses that rare where you're from?

[frostythehitman]

The kind that I use? Yeah. They're always custom made.

[ercnerd]

I don't know too much about them.

[For obvious reasons, he doesn't need to think about replacing body parts. He thinks back to how ravenously Qi Rong chowed down on the metal arm.]

He really ate that much, huh . . .

[frostythehitman]

All the way to the elbow. Not much use to it anymore now except if I want a second armpit.

[ercnerd]

Don't you? It'll be useful for holding things.

[frostythehitman]

...we'll see.

[ read: he doesn't want to go around with stuff just shoved into his armpit, that would look very stupid and undignified. but also....carrying two things at once... ]

[ercnerd]

[That didn't seem to stop him when he shoved Virgo there.]

I suppose you will.

[frostythehitman]

Depends on if I can get the smell out of the arm, too. I'm not going to go around smelling like poisoned meat all the time.

[ercnerd]

Why don't you ask Souji? He's always cleaning; he might have an idea.

[frostythehitman]

I'm working on it. I already tried cleaning the arm with him, but either the smell is permanently trapped in there, or it's gonna take a lot more work with way tougher chemicals.

[ercnerd]

Ha . . . It's not even half of an arm, yet it's so troublesome.
