It All Started With A Penny In The Door [Dissection]

"Come on, you're going to love this!" Álarr sprang after the cat as they neared the outside border of the Buffalo Knolls. He wasn't sure what Afi was so excited about but he was rather unhappy to have yet another nap disturbed. As they neared he noticed something large and furry was laying in the grass. Upon closer inspection he realized it was a dead wolf! "Ummm… Afi?" He glanced at the cat then noticed that Brynhilder was snipping away at the hide over the wolf's stomach.

Afi climbed on top of the corpse. "Don't worry, its no one from Legion. Probably some dumb fool trying to take on a buffalo and paying the price. Serves him right getting so close to our borders anyhow. Now sit down and pay attention. We've studied frogs and rabbits and even deer but this is a rare opportunity to study wolven anatomy. It may be one of the few chances you get. You'll find this helpful in treating battle wounds as well as inflicting them. For example!" Afi cleared his throat and Brynhildr hopped onto the wolf's face and begin pulling away the flesh from the head. Clearly she'd been at work snipping all along the creature, her beak accustomed to slicing into the flesh of dead animals. "If you know what the muscles and tendons in an opponent's body do then you know right where to strike to inflict maximum damage. If I were to shred the masseter muscle here it would cripple a wolves ability to close its mouth and bite."

Álarr tried to block out the smell and focus on this from an analytical point of view. Afi was right, this was a rare opportunity and he intended to make the most of it. Afi immediately got started working on instructing him and he struggled to take in as much information as he could. Maybe there was a good way to preserve a body? Ack, what was he saying?!
