Maximum Effort

Absinth watched Elysia attempt to follow her instruction, and paused the work she was making an example of. Nodding to the other woman, “Yes. Now when you get far enough in for some leverage start pulling with both your teeth and claws. You’ll have to work to separate the two, because those muscles won’t let that hide go easily.” She said, pointing with a paw at the membrane-like tissue that stretched between the open space Elysia had opened up. She was willing to show the woman how to do this, step by step just as she seemed to wish. “Don’t be too shy, it’s hard to bite into isn’t it? It can handle a bit of force, just be mindful of how big a piece of pelt you want from it. We don’t have a knife here, so we’ll have to tear it with our teeth when the time comes. Always aim for bigger than you think you need, they shrink during the tanning process.”
