“She buried her face in his neck, beard tickling his throat. "I am going to bury you right here," she sobbed. "I'm digging your grave, just so you know."
"I know," he said, rubbing a hand over her back. "I would expect nothing less."
"No one would ever be able to find you! And even if they did, it would be too late and you'd be only bones!"
"Perhaps we can hold off on that, for at least a little while, I have something important to say to all of you."
She sniffled. "Perhaps. But if I don't like what I hear, we come right back and you will climb inside the hole without arguing.”

“But is it too much to ask for a trespasser? I’ve always wanted to see if humans make good fertilizer. It seems like they would.” She eyed him up and down hungrily. “All that flesh.” “Oh dear,” Linus managed to say. She huffed out a breath. “We don’t get trespassers here. Unless … I saw a cat. Did you bring it as a gift for the house? Lucy will be excited about that. And maybe when he’s done with it, he’ll let me use what’s left. It’s not the same as a human, but I’m sure it’ll work.” “She’s not an offering,” Linus said, aghast. “She’s a pet.” “Oh.
