I wasn't gonna say anything, LOL. :D
Pied sighed a breath of relief when Pump told her to proceed. "Let's get this over with," she muttered almost as if to herself. More loudly, she added, "I'll do my best to be gentle and avoid tearing holes in your face. If it makes you feel any better, it's already stopped bleeding and looks like it'll heal over just fine. It might not even leave any scars."
Quickly now, Pied positioned herself to extract the third quill. Fortunately, it came out with significantly less skin attached to it, though Pied could still feel the slight tearing as she removed it. Before Pump could react again, she clenched her teeth around the exposed tip of the final quill and gave it a quick yank. At last, all four quills lay in the snow, with bits of flesh and blood sprinkled around them.
"All right, they're all out. You're bleeding and swollen again. It will sting but if we go rinse it off in the seawater, the cold will make the swelling go down and the salt will cleanse the wound." Pied stepped back to give Pump her space, then looked at her expectantly.
