It's evident that he doesn't quite know where to start, so she cuts away the tentacles and pushes them away from the upper edge of its shell. They'll only get in the way, and they'll need to be cut apart separately. ]

The underbelly is softer, but still tough. She settles on gettin in by its mouth, using the knife to start wedging a crack in the shell. Something gurgles out, wet and foul-smelling.
She grimaces and looks away, but then takes the knife between her teeth and grabs the top shell and the bottom of the mouth and starts trying to pry it open. ]
