Linnea hadn't flown very far, but high enough where she noticed smoke from the nearby village.  As she was about to head off, she heard the commotion by the dirt path, and turned around to see more people showing up.  Becoming curious, Linnea floated as close as she dared, but staying inside tree cover to see what they were talking about.  
A policewoman?  A soldier?  They looked scary, but maybe it would be safe to be with them.  At the very least, they were the closest to being authorities as she was going to find out here in the forest.  It was after the happy looking young man asked for the village that Linnea made a decision.  These were probably the others from Earth, so might as well work together.  If anything bad happens, she can just fly away.

Linnea floats over to the group, revealing herself, but keeping above them so that they cant reach her (through normal means).
"Hi, um- hi.  Eh-Excuse me, the village..."  Linnea stops to take a deep breath, and points, "The village is over that way.  It's not far, but maybe it will take us a while to get there... maybe."
