Those sound similar to plants of my world. Very few are out to kill you directly, but they will kill you if one doesn't know how to handle or consume them. Trench has a few plants that will attack; they aren't that interesting to deal with.
[He expected that she didn't have the kind of reputation to be able to keep people from respecting her ability for violence. She was too nice usually. And she picked fights with the wrong kind of people who were better known for harm.]
No. You are small and nice usually, and that isn't intimidating at all.
Yeah, I've heard about some of the plants here that try to attack people. And the mushrooms too. Although, I'm not sure how much of it is a matter of sentience, or just... You know, a reaction to a Sleeper or someone nearby. There are plants at home too that eat meat, but like, insects. Not people.

Yes, I practice every day. I will go. Keep practicing your magic.

[She gives a small nod. She has no intention of changing who she is, really. Even if she plans to be far more cautious of Corruption going forward.]
Yeah... Well, um. I guess I'll see you around? Keep practicing your reading too, huh?
