Trying to take in everything at once was a downside to her inquisitive mind, for it distracted her from the meager task of watching where she was going. Bumping into another girl snapped her out of her slightly dazed state, and Shin-ha mentally added a note to work on her spatial and situational awareness even as she opened her mouth to apologise. But before she could say even a syllable, she was rudely brushed off. Up close and with a good look at the other girl's face, Shin-ha recognised her to be one Évelyne Sylvestre. She didn't know a lot about her other than she hailed from a wealthy European family, which explained her rather curt attitude. Raising an eyebrow at the girl's retreating back, Shin-ha continued to move forward, not changing directions. Her chosen path brought her behind Jason and Chloe, her eyes catching the card cradled in his palm. Curious, she stopped in between the two, peering over their shoulders down at the surface of it. To her utter amazement, the face showed a hand with a compass rose.

"Well, that's handy. That way we wouldn't have to wander around and rely on luck to get us to the town." She murmured before her attention was drawn away by a loud noise and Chloe's stutter.

Snapping her head around towards the direction of the sound, she caught glimpses of green skin, dirty fabric and...were those wooden clubs? As the sound of footsteps upon forest debris came closer to where they were, Shin-ha could finally make out the short humanoid beings that were heading their way. Frowning slightly, she studied the nearest visible creature thoroughly, wracking her brain to figure out what they were. These little, green people seemed familiar somehow, but for the life of her, she couldn't put a finger on it. Orcs? Imps? Goblins? Yeah, most likely the last. She wanted to step closer to have a better view despite the foul stench surrounding them, however, the hair at the nape of her neck prickled, not in a good way. Her body refused to take a step forward and some primal instinct like a formerly-dormant sixth sense was screaming [i]run flee hide[/i]. Her hand unconsciously drifted down to the small iron dagger at her hip, clutching it like a lifeline.

"Come on, don't just stand there! We've got to hide." Shin-ha hissed quietly, hoping it was loud enough the others heard but low enough the creatures didn't catch it. She tore her gaze from the advancing green beings to cast a searching glance over the place. Trees, trees and more trees. "We can either climb up the trees, hide behind them and hope they don't notice, fight, or run. I don't recommend the last option as we might not be able to outrun them. Fighting is a last resort as we don't know their exact numbers and...well, I can't fight. I can evade, but straight up fighting is not my thing."

She fell silent, glancing around to gauge the others' reactions. "Anyone has a better or alternative idea?"
