[He hums it over to himself, frowning as he considers.]
It isn't uncommon, particularly if a limb was lost in such a way as yours. Even when properly amputated, a phantom limb is often complained of, much less if the nerves were severed without any sort of preparation or thought. It is simply the nerve endings reacting, sending the wrong signals to the brain. You may feel as if you are able to move it, it may even feel as if the shape is different, there may be a great deal of pain, coldness or heat, or simply an odd sensation. It all depends upon the individual case, so you mustn't worry no matter what you feel.
Now, treatment for it is another thing. No true cure has been found - at least, by my time - however there are some methods of treatment with varying amounts of success. Pain relievers, of course, which I could certainly supply you with, massaging the tissue or the application of heat. If it is more accute, surgery may be advisable as the trouble may involve improperly healed tissue attaching itself to the nerve.

[Diarmuid repeats the words softly. He's not sure if he is saddened or relieved by what Berserker is telling him. On one hand, it is good to know it is common, but on the other...]
This is probably going to sound foolish, but considering Servants are very different from humans, there was part of me that hoped it might mean that someone my body was going to regenerate the limb. I guess it was too much to ask.
[He takes a deep breath and then moves the locket back so he can look at his friend again.]
I think you for the offer, but drugs are something I would like to avoid. I didn't like them back when I first lived...
[What little they had in the way of 'drugs' back then anyway.]
...and that really hasn't changed now. I will try the other things you suggest, though. Heat and massage.

[He nods.]
If there is anything I can do to assist, please let me know. I sincerely hope that those will help you.

[He doesn't seem that confident, though. It really is a foolish thought and he knows it.]
I appreciate all you have done for me. It will help. Please take care of yourself until we speak again. I will make sure to let you know if I need anything. You do the same.
[Diarmuid bows his head politely and then ends the call.]
