Good. I've been hearing about some wild monster attacks on farms lately, glad you haven't been a part of that.

Have you seen any humans or their monsters in this part of the ruins?

[Wild monsters lived all over the ruins, which was fine, but sometimes they got aggressive and attacked explorers. Occasionally, the human-owned monsters went missing, which was bad for everyone. They were usually found in a timely manner, though.]
