Pain, because otherwise getting those spikes out is going to hurt a lot. Everything Scout can pick up on, which honestly is mostly sight, she's not a healer - says 'nasty infection', too.

"It'll be all right," Scout says again. "Let me touch you. I can make it feel better." Carefully, her fingers spread, she lays her hand on the zebra's neck, pulls a deep breath, and lets the living Force open up and reveal the extent of the task. It's pretty considerable.

Pain is a signal the body sends the brain. Damage, act accordingly. With the quiet help of the Force Scout traces nerves and judges that they're basically all signalling, and she can make this a lot faster if she sets up only two blocks - one big one at the back of the skull, receiving from the body in general, and the one cranial nerve that picks up most sensation.

The sensation as Scout fits blocks into place isn't numbness replacing pain, exactly. It's more a feeling of pressure and of cold or heat, maybe a hint of pins and needles, right on the edge of unpleasantness and still crossing over where the muzzle is but, she's judged, better than the kind of pain this degree of injury and exposure to iron creates.
