I'm A Little Sensitive, But Don't Tell

Scylla had promised to show Kione her collection and so, when they returned from their murder of the hyenas, she led him to a broken down bungalow out in the middle of the jungle. The small girl had done her best to clean it up, but she couldn't move some of the heavier items, and so she had to jump over a big bureau that was blocking the doorway in order to get inside. "Can you get in here?" She asked, giving her head a bit of a tilt.
While she waited for Kione to find a way inside, the slate and alabaster pup dusted off her 'collection.' It wasn't the same type of collection a girl her age should have, but she wasn't your typical girl. Scylla was definitely different. Her collection was a culmination of the animals that she'd killed only... she had sewed bits of one creature onto bits of the other. All of this was done after she had processed and dried the bodies. There was a rat with the head of a seagull. A seagull with the head of a mongoose and the tail of a serpent, and many other strange culminations of animal body parts all sewn together. She'd gotten pretty good at hiding the seams, if she said so herself.
On one of the other wooden surfaces, the long body of a snake was stretched out, but it was all bones. Scylla had tied them all together with white horse hair. It worked very well for suturing her taxidermy together, so she'd used it to tie the bones together as well. Attached to the bones of the snake were the wing bones of a bird, so it looked as though the snake might have been able to fly while it was alive. The girl was very proud of her creations, but she didn't show them to many people. Albion had seen them, of course. So had Cerberus, but she'd never shown anyone else. Kione would be the first outsider to see them and she was genuinely nervous as to what he would think.
Scylla should be seen as a very adult character who will indulge in acts that others may find graphic and uncomfortable. Steer clear if you don't like this sort of thing.

Kione followed Scylla to her hidden away bungalow curious about her collection. The entranceway to her stash was blocked to a degree but the tiny wolf was able to get inside easily enough. “Not a problem luv,” Kione eyed the opening for a moment then hopped up to the bureau, four paws landing all pressed together, head ducking down and his spine arcing up on the other end before hopping on the bottom. No problem. Though, he probably wouldn’t like to do that without time to make sure he got the jump just right for the small space to get in with.
What greeted him inside easily made him forget about the small opening. It was the strangest sight he’d ever seen. Kione slowly made his way forward to look over the oddities, a paw reached out to almost touch the seagull body before pulling back, “they won’t break easy, will they? They seem well put together.” Last thing Kione wanted to do was damage something she’d put such effort into stacking up.
“Could make a fellow,” he paused to look down at the skeleton winged snake, “make a fellow think these things are real if I didn’t know they weren’t. Never seen a winged snake before, sure hope never to meet one matter of fact." Kione took another stride down to eye the next creation, each bit of art was getting its own turn like a tourist in a museum, truly looking at them versus a casual glance at them. “I can’t even tell what you did on most of these sis.” Finally turning his head to glance back at Scylla, “Yup, we got a lot of hunting to do for adding to your collection. How long does it take you to make one of these?”
