Cordel nodded before rising up above the brush. It was indeed harder for him to keep track of Evelyn through the vegetation, but not impossible. He flew with his head tilted downwards so as to watch her blurred form carefully. The instant she stopped he did as well. He lowered down, his body sliding around and between the branches, reaching her just in time to hear her whisper. He had barely enough time to utter back under his breath, "Alright," before she changed into a cat. As she walked on he got down even lower to glide just above the ground directly beside her.
 
He continued to walk ignoring everyone else until someone shouted out to him, "Hay boy!" the voice shouted, "I haven't seen you around here, where are you from?" Juvo turned around to see a large man in a guards outfit looking down at him. "From a town up north. It had been burned down by some... well beast and I ran here. I'm trying to find... um... I forgot his name. My mom said he would help us hunt down the attackers but well... its just me now so..." He was a completely different Juvo now. Secretly he had took the ring that blue gave him and put it on just before walking out. Luckily it came in handy because he wasn't absolutely freaked out. However, something in him hated having to use the ring, it made him feel powerless whenever he had it on.

Regardless the guard seem to buy into everything he had said and even looked like he had pity on him. "You must be talking about Cyrus Ryan." He said pointing in a direction, "It should be down that way, just follow the path and you will get their in no time. I could escort you if you wish but I am not aloud past the gate without my weapon and their is no way I am going anywhere unarmed after hearing your story. If I manage to catch one of those dreadful creatures I will make sure to kill it in your honor." Juvo nodded, "Thank you sir but I must be off. I can handle it myself." He ran off in the direction the guard had pointed. Just as he came to a path, away from the town he took off the ring and put it in his pocket.
 
Alex looked between Blue and Scrubz when he was speaking of Marvin and their 'pick up location' and made a mental note to figure out more about that. With this being done she turned to look at the keys he mentioned, stifling a small chuckle at his foolish situation. When she spotted them her eyes widened a little, she hadn't seen so many keys in a long time, no one needing that much unless they were a dungeon master or something of that sort. She stepped toward them and picked the keys up before turning back to Scrubz, "Why in the world would you need so many keys?" She asked incredulously as she sorted through them to the fifth key.

Evelyn walked with Cordel the rest of the way to the town then looked around for a good path, there were many humans out and about which meant that she was instinctively nervous and on edge despite her normal appearance. Anything involving so many humans scared her a bit and she would be startled by small things, jumping finding a different, less populated path to go. They made it through the town fairly quickly considering her behavior and then they made it to the wharf Alex spoke of.
