No accident at all. All of those wounds had been quite deliberately inflicted and not all of them in battle, not even most of them in truth. He's grown used to seeing them himself but he usualy keeps them covered just so that he does not make others uncomfortable.

"It's not a wholly sorrowful tale. That's part of why it's so popular back in my own world... the fact that it is in a way a rather hopeful and inspiring one. So I don't mind telling it." Whether he'll tell it this day or another he'll leave up to Barcus.

"It does," he at least has no complaints about it. In fact he seems quite happy with it as he moves his arm this way and that while trying out the feel of it.

He'll still get the other one back, but he'll probably keep that one for when he's planning on doing something potentialy dangerous.
