She is on a a nice walk in the woods, so at least nobody else is right there to be eaten by the snake and she osanwëd a warning to emergency services first.
So now she can worry entirely about where the fuck she is.

"I think he knew but figured it was six of them - one of Ambarussa had died - what in the world were they going to do about it, and he needed the Silmaril to fend off the Enemy, so he just put it out of mind - well, it wasn't just six of them, they still had an army and their army was furious with Doriath and angry about the Dwarves and desperate to get the Silmaril - they thought they could kill the Enemy if they got it -"
"The younger. They never did get it back, I don't know if they'd have been able to do it or not."
"They sacked Menegroth. This is when Beren and Lúthien's son died, and the six-year-old grandchildren, but he also had a three-year-old and she got out with the Silmaril and fled south."
"No - well, a bit, half-humans do grow up faster, but three's nowhere near old enough to hold it, let alone understand it, but she had caretakers and they got her out -"
"Orcs used to be able to do that and it didn't seem like a big deal to them but they let us fix it when we begged them."
"I don't know if humans mind it. Might vary. Sometimes they do, sometimes they die giving birth -
- she got married, she had kids. And the Fëanorians came after the Silmaril and she dove off a cliff with it rather than let them have it and they took the children hostage -"
"And then the Valar decided that they should maybe stop Melkor. So they did. And pardoned us of the Doom and invited us all home - I guess I was still a bit prickly because I said that I couldn't accept their pardon, not having done anything wrong in the first place, and stayed -"
"Oh, I don't regret it. We were needed here. Anyway, the freed human slaves charmed the Valar by being very very worshipful indeed, and the Valar consulted with Eru and were told they couldn't make them not human but they could make it better - made them live three hundred years instead of sixty, not get sick, not get - aged the way they do - until the very end -"
"Oh he fucking could too he just gets a kick out of deteriorating sapients and is conning the Valar into appreciating his invention."
"I have no difficulty believing you.
Anyway. The war's over, they start on rewarding their favorite humans and pardoning us - the remaining Fëanorians - it was just Maitimo and Macalaurë by that point, the others had died in the fighting - write them pleading for the Silmarils -"
"Is that it? They probably make more sense to you than me. Anyway, they break into and slaughter their way through the camp of the victorious host, get the Silmarils, are surrounded, seem all set to die fighting, but Eönwë says to let them go -"
"The - patterns of their decisions make some sense to me but that one I can't totally figure out."
