Out in the desert, sure. Pretty much everythin' out there is fuckin' terrifyin'. The city's fine though. I guess monsters are like any other kinda big animals -- they mostly stay away from humans unless they're desperate.

[ Which is not to say they aren't dangerous creatures. If anything, she's pretty sure most are much more aggressive and vicious than things like bears and snakes. But she's come to think of monsters as just large wild animals, rather than active predators of humans. Just like a bear or a panther or a buffalo, they aren't out there trying to get tangled up with people. ]

Lots of bandits too. Merchants and people travelin' pay for escorts when they go between cities.
