...did living off the land include taking things from a box that was, technically speaking, on the land? Because as Rosa and Emily passed by, she all but skidded to a halt when she saw the box of stuff out in front of the shop with a very clear indication that the stuff was free.
It could be a trap, she realized, but, at the same time, she'd discovered that living in the wild as an uncivilized savage was kind of cold, and there were a lot of really warm things in that box.
She'd take her chances if it was a trap, she decided, holding Emily back just in case as she went to grab the first thing from the box, a scarf, which she pulled out slowly and then....nothing. Okay, good, she thought as she wrapped the scarf around her neck, not a trap. And close enough to living on off the land, she decided, that she moved in to sort through the box for other good things, eschewing all the dumb stupid gloves and then going to see if there was a hat that might fit her dog and trying a few on her, and maybe trying to see if she could get a scarf to stay on her, too.
The dog was taking this remarkably well, too, all things considered.
