Rawhide

Aerndis finished smearing the brains into the hide, pausing for a moment to examine her work. Yes, that would do. She scrapped off the excess with her paws, leaving that for the bugs. Now she just needed to wait and let the hide cure. She moved to lay down like a sphinx enjoying the feel of the sun on her back. It was a nice day to be out.

Having been more or less abandoned by her parents when she was younger most of the skills she'd learned were from loners or through her own experimentation. She was in a better place now with both her parents but she couldn't really say she felt close to them and even now it just felt strange to refer to them as 'mom' and 'dad'.
