neverbeatme: Standing by herself in a wide open space. (ℚ but never lonely)

"Okay. C'mon in and let's see about water bottles and duct tape."

She finds those things - two water bottles, one large roll of duct tape. She shifts a few protein bars from her backpack to Bella's to make room for the water bottles (filled), then rearranges objects until she can fit the roll of duct tape and a pair of scissors, plus two warm hats and two pairs of warm gloves. Now her backpack is much closer to full. She also uncovers one box of matches at the back of a drawer, which she tucks in her pocket along with a small notebook-and-pen. She wears the clockwork watch, and a pair of boots that will be warmer than her shoes but are more plausible for wandering around an abandoned house in summer than actual winter boots. (Whether the digital watch would have worked in Narnia or not, it disagreed with all the snow she piled over it and is now out of commission.)

"All right," she says, surveying their full backpacks once this mission is complete. "Any last-minute good ideas?"
