His hands aren't quite in the best places to muffle sounds from his mouth, but it still seems an incredible option to him - one of the conveniences of the human body, lips and hands being able to muffle a voice that has to rise through a throat to emerge into the air properly.

He leads down a different aisle than the mannequin disappeared to, head on a swivel of looking this way and that for signs of more motion. The occasional sound of destruction or distress echoing through the enormous building is both stress and guilty relief - at least they're not the only ones being hunted, at least there's others they might help and be helped by eventually.]
