[ THE BUG ARM IS NICE, HE THINKS.... just assumes it's normal ]
It's... interesting. [ he bends his fingers at the joints to demonstrate the flexibility for him. ] I prefer flesh and blood, but given that I lost my arm to carelessness, I cannot complain.
It hurts in a strange way... I'm not sure how to describe it.
[ phantom pains. the ache of something not there anymore. he looks at gregor, considering him for a moment with an apologetic expression, more yielding than usual. he's gregarious, but he still has manners most of the time. ]
This may be too personal to ask. But—did you lose your own arm as well?
Removed...? [ a little headtilt, because he can't imagine why. he doesn't judge gregor or his arm for being Different, because sidon is also Different, but it's clearly at odds with the rest of his biology. ] Mm, I'm sad to hear that you can relate. I will grow used to it, but it's still... not quite my own body.
[ he's open and adaptable but there's some inevitable wrongness there all the same. ]
Ah... yes. That is how most things are. [ he turns his wrist, testing the flexibility, and it's weird. not as weird as a bug arm. gregor undoubtedly has it worse. ] I find that time is the only real way to heal anything, whether it's a wound of the body or the heart.

[ OR IS THAT JUST A NATURAL BUG APPENDAGE ]

[a little discomfort, but-- well, considering the circumstances, it's easier to share a bit.]
I didn't ever exactly live without an arm. They removed mine to replace it with this. But I think I still know the kind of feeling you mean.

[it'll keep happening, but it ought to become easier with time, at the very least.]
