Rawhide

Deciding the smell of the deer's brain might attract more company she opted to start there. Rudy could always take the rabbit and fly off with it if necessary. Aerndis used her teeth to finish unwrapping the deer hide so that it lay flat with the fur side down. Blood and bits of flesh still clung to the deers hide. She was about to take the piece of scapula in her teeth when she heard the sound of approaching paws. She looked up to see a small woman approaching. The woman greeted her and asked what she was doing.

"Hello there, I'm just tanning a hide. Working on getting some leftover bits off first. Are you here to do some hunting as well?" Aerndis grasped the scapula in her jaws so the blade portion lay against the hide. Holding the hide down with her front paws she pressed and worked at the stubborn bits of flesh that hung to the hide, working here and there to clean it up. All the while she would glance at the stranger, awaiting cues to see where the conversation would lead.
