Rather than take up any more time talking, Karla simply closed her eyes and set to work. The first thing she did was wrap a series of subtle soothing spells around Ben; nothing too obvious or powerful, just enough to help keep him relaxed. She was hoping there was something similar enough within the Jedi training that he'd be familiar with the concept and not react.
She'd considered wrapping some around Ender, too, but had thought better of it. She didn't think they'd be something he'd noticed--they'd been designed to be unobtrustive--but it was Ender. There was no guaranteeing he wouldn't notice--or that he'd appreciate it if he did.
Once the spells were in place, Karla directed her Craft over to Ben's face, finding the seams in his skin that signified the scarring and the original wounds. With a deep breath, she sent her power into those seams--and opened them once more.
