Punctuation help, please

Help!  Here's the section:

"That's more like it."  Erina gave several more tugs.  There were no more cries or screams, but only grunts and a few muffled oof's.

***********
The "oof's" are coming from another character.  First off, does it need quote marks?  a single quote?  Italics?  And should it be in a new paragraph, since it's another character?  I'm wanting it to be from Erina's perspective, not a dialog from the other character, if that makes sense.  Erina hears the oof's but I don't want the characater to *say* "Oof!"  

Thanks for the help, LJ hive!
