"That makes for a very disturbing mental picture, and that's coming from a gal who likes her beef mooing," she said, chuckling darkly."Very true, and they might have a hard time cutting through my skin as it is."

Lyra sighed, "Yeah I probably would get in trouble. To my knowledge I am the only skunk here so its not like I could pretend I knew nothing about it. And you are both welcome here anytime.
