If I'm honest, that's not something I've let myself worry about too much. If I did, there's no way I could handle working here at Semele's at all. Or maybe even getting up every morning.
So, for now, I just sort of shrug and offer as reassuring a smile as I can. "Honestly, that werewolf friend helps a lot," I tell her. He's, uh... I'm in his pack, sorta, so he looks out for me. He'd probably rip to pieces anyone who tried to hurt me. And because of what he is, he has super smell and hearing and strength and stuff so he can get almost anywhere in seconds. Plus," I add, hoping desperately that some of this might help calm her down some, "there are superheroes here who do a lot. I was saved by one just a couple weeks ago, actually."
I don't tell her what from, afraid that even mentioning vampires might get her even more worked up.
"Honestly, it's not nearly so scary as it sounds. I mean, if you look at the news, there isn't any more crime or horrible things happening here than back home. It might feel like it sometimes just because this place is so much stranger than what we're used to, but there are good people and things here, too. And that helps a lot."
