I'll Tan Your Hide

Rocks were suggested to hold the hide flat and Resin went to look for some without complaint. She was learning a lot by watching Domari. As he rolled one rock, she rolled another. They both rolled another and soon the skin was secure simply by weight on the leg flaps.

Next Domari brought the brain to settle upon the wet underside of the hide. He explained what needed to be done and Resin got to work. Using her big paws, she broke off a piece of the brain and brought it to her side of the skin. Putting her weight into it, she mashed the grey matter and worked it into the skin, careful to get all the way to the edges. From watching Iolaire work, she knew that the edge of the skin could be sheered straight with a knife to make them more appealing. She wasn't sure if Domari planned on doing that with his skin, however. The brain felt interesting as it squished through her toes and she shook off the remnants to smear into other parts of the skin. There was barely enough to cover the whole skin, and so she needed to work sparingly.
