Palu:
Depends on whether "with" indicates simultaneousness or dependence.

Simultaneous
n'kika yotso ti X ha palali ti Y ha heyapli
(at-time one both X <sj> speak-past-he and Y <sj> eat-past-he)

Simultaneous and dependent
n'kika yotso X palapli hu k'husho Y ha heyapli
(at-time one X speak-past-he by-event Y <sj> eat-past-he)

Notes:
"n'kika yotso" can be dropped if context supplies the
simultaneousness.
 "hu" effectively turns the preceding phrase into a modified


Dis:
In increasing level of dependency:

X satís'p Y sotórg'ks
(X he-speaks-during Y he-eat-complete)

X satìs Y sotórg'ks
(X he-speakingly Y he-eat-complete)

X satìs'l Y sotórg'ks
(X he-speaking-by Y eat-complete)

Notes:
"sotórg" instead of "satórg" as the agent of the second verb is not
the same as that of the first.
The accent grave indicates low tone, which makes "satìs" a modifier.
