The small woman made her way to the trees, not looking up until she was in the shelter of the forest and even then she shielded her eyes with a hand when the lightning flashed before her hand fell once more to her side and she kept looking around for the tell-tale glow of of the thunder blossom. She looked for long minutes amongst the tree roots before she turned her gaze down toward the entrance of the forest to search for one there but what she found instead tore a scream of fright from her throat and sent her tumbling to the wet mud of the forest floor as she quickly tried backing away.

She was panicking slightly about who or what she'd just seen, thinking they would attack her now that she's seen them so she focused on fighting her way back to her feet in the slippery mud, almost getting to her feet once only to slip back down into the mud. Eventually she gave up and stayed where she was, her gaze hesitantly searching for the small humanoid figure it'd flashed upon earlier, half hoping it'd been her imagination.

It wasn't their apearance that startled her, no, she couldn't see the person's features proerly in the single blinding flash she'd gotten off them in the dark, it was the simple fact that she'd come into the trees, expecting to be totally alone only to find someone seemingly waiting for her in the trees. She feared her days of the villagers fearing her eyes had come to an end, that she'd been betrayed by her own kind and sent out here to die.
