Key slowly nodded his head to the girl, then looked around the forest a bit. It seemed very quiet at first, the snow still falling from the sky. He was alert, as not everything in Lycore was deemed friendly and comforting like himself. He scanned the forest carefully, searching for something. The he saw a figure off a distance away. He stood where he was, watching. Then he heard a growling sound. He froze on the spot, looking around quickly. He could see a large figure beyond the trees. It looked like a Werewolf. Key hesitated for a moment, before turning his head and slowly trying to push her gently out and back into the human world beyond the gate.<br/><br/>Once he did that, he turned his head to see the Werewolf coming closer. He looked back at the girl, then at the beast before them. He took some steps back, crossing over into the human world. The Werewolf took it's chance and moved quickly towards them. Key was quick to grab the bars of the gates with his mouth, pulling them shut. That way, the Werewolf could not get through, just in time. It growled and snarled, clawing at the gates. Key looked down at the chains and lock, to which he used his mouth and feet to find a way to loop it around the gate, then locked it once more so the Werewolf or any other foul Vain creature could not get through.<br/><br/>He looked to be breathing heavily from the sudden encounter, then looked at the girl. He looked at the key that was still in her hand and at the rope that was off a distance away by a tree. He walked towards the tree, bending down to pick up the rope in his mouth, then came back over to the girl. He dropped the rope into her hand. Key was asking for her to loop the rope through the key and put it around his neck so as to never lose the key. It didn't look like he would be coming back to Lycore anytime soon if the Vain creatures were coming out at this time of day.
