[ ...dean of what? Ciri looks expectant for a moment, but then the subject is changed. Okay. Maybe they're researchers or something? Castiel had been eager to ask about the mating habits and such pretty quickly. It would explain why they're wandering around out here, if they study beasts.

So she is patient when she answers Castiel, even though in her mind it's obvious. ]

I wouldn't call it customary. I'm cutting the shell off. Chaigon shells, claws and tongues fetch a pretty pile of coins at certain apothecaries. Once I sold a whole corpse to the museum researchers, but it was more trouble to lug all the way back to the city like that.

Either way. It's a waste to leave them.

[ At some point, her explanation is interrupted by the dean saying something weird alongside her name, which Ciri ignores in favor of continuing to talk about her intentions with the corpses while slicing up said dead animal. The shells are pretty big too, but her horse isn't too far away (tied up near a creek off the road, to keep from spooking when she'd noticed the chaigon tracks).

She glances up when he approaches, but makes no move to stop him. ]

If you know what you're doing, sure.
