She probably knew exactly where she was but lost track of time. And they thought she was lost so they send a search party. She goes what they looking for? maybe they need help? lol
I'm just picturing them going around, "Yeah we're looking for a woman, no idea what she looks like though."
Or alternatively
"We're searching for a woman who is this high, has brown hair, blue eyes.. kinda like yours :) "
"I'm lost, I'll help these people search for someone in the meantime"
