Even more amusing was his speaking through the meat, and she waited patiently for him to be done. When he spoke, she shook her head. "I highly doubt that. You know no intruder would sneak up on you and speak. If an intruder snuck up on ya, it'd be to attack. And... well, most people can't sneak as well as I can anyway."
