Halla continued her chewing and cutting. She was used to working swiftly as a loner if she wanted to keep an animal's hide. Scavengers always seemed to appear within minutes. Often she'd distract them but tossing organ meats though with Cairo also present she hoped the pair of them could keep scavengers at bay. She also didn't plan to trade the hide, necessarily so a few little holes wouldn't be a problem. Thankfully though it was only the turkey vultures and while they landed nearby they had yet to move in. Halla finished her side of the sheep then looked to see how Cairo was doing. He'd be able to get it completely finished. In the meantime she turned her attention to prepping for tanning.
She typically just used the brain, having few items to tan with and as she'd want the horns anyway she started chewing into the skull. She started at the eyes where the skull would be easiest to break. It also had the advantage of allowing her to lap up the eye jelly which might attract a few less scavengers to the face of the animal. She was suddenly wishing she had her set up with oak tannins but it wasn't practical to carry everything needed. Halla continued working her way through the skull, her jaws scratching and cracking bone until at last she was able to see the brain. She turned to hunt for a stick, deciding it would just be easier to dump the skull on the hide and then scramble the brains til they leaked out.
