[To the contrary, Kirei appears slightly intrigued by, even interested in, the news. His eyebrows raise a bit higher and he stares directly at the center of Berserker's chest as if to spy the healing taking place.]
You are an immortal Servant? Impossible to kill?
[It's entirely possible. It's as though he's a combination of the Berserker from his war—with the absorption linked not to weapons for battle, but to a body for survival—and a Servant who might perpetually reappear, or recover from apparent death.
No, no, certainly not impossible, only...very difficult. It does, after all, rely somewhat on the prana available, and I was a mortal man, not at all one fit to become a Heroic Spirit, I should think.
[It would be wise not to go on, but Kirei is a good man, devout and just, surely he shouldn't have to think twice about sharing details.]
I am told that other participants plotted to lure my Master away, killed him to weaken me, and thus was I defeated in the Grail War. Similarly, I had feared, as my Master was not a true magus, it would be quite possible the strain I might cause would end in his death. There are always flaws.
[But his Master here is a positively endless source, and would be far more difficult to kill than Berserker.]
[At least he doesn't plan on sharing them with anyone else?
Kirei thinks on it for only a second or two, and then he nods.] I understand. Your regenerative ability is linked to the quality of your Master and the prana stores to which they have access.
[So not immortal, just close to it. He wonders if there are ways of building up prana in the Drabwurld. There must be, right?
He also wonders if his cursed blood would resist the self-healing of a Servant. Perhaps there is value in it.]

Something along those lines, yes. Of course, even if there is no prana to be had, I imagine it would still attempt. Likely at the cost of something else.
[His Master's life, or maybe something like his mind, seeing as Berserkers are meant to be mad and he is usually still able to retain some thought even as a beast.]
Well, regardless, it is an experiment I have wished to perform. Whether it is even possible to surgically remove a shard. I suppose it couldn't hurt to try.
[Even if that isn't his field wwwhateverrr, he can do it. Nothing could go wrong. Not like anything bad happens when he uses himself as a guinea pig.]
... There are other ways for both you and your Master to abscond to the Seelie side. The end of times arrives and it would be in your best interest to avoid more extreme measures. For example, you could pledge your loyalty to a high-ranking member of the Seelie Court. [He is such a member.] That Seelie might shelter and account for you.
[His brow furrows, eyes narrowing. Kirei truly isn't that noble of a priest—this Unseelie Berserker could cut himself open and die and he wouldn't care, especially if he could pluck his shard and toss it into the Void—but he at least looks like one.]
Perhaps I have driven the conversation off-course, pressed by interests from my own world. In any case, this is a church. Servant Berserker from a Holy Grail War that is not my own, I would seek to provide you with whatever you might have from this place as a renowned Seelie priest, Comer to the Void. I realize the identities and needs of Servants are quite complex.

A Servant like that would be useful, indeed.]
