Dante froze, stricken by surprise. How could he have let someone sneak up on him? He really should be more careful. Turning slowly toward the sound, he saw the other man, and replied, as loudly and as fearlessly as he could manage: "N-no sir... erm, I mean, that is, uh, Y-y-yes... sir... just... just s-some game. I'm, uhm, h-hunting... you see..." After this, his voice trailed off. He may have spoken some more, but it didn't matter. Dante had a hard time speaking because he rarely used his voice, since he didn't see many people. Sometimes, he felt as if he had forgotten how to speak altogether, but luckily, now wasn't one of those times. He should have run away instead of calling back, but something told him this man wouldn't take too kindly to Dante's severely flawed excuse for a fight-or-flight reflex.
