[Red isn't shy at all about taking him up on his offer. If he's willing to share what he has, she won't make a big deal out of it. She's certain that eventually she'll be able to pay him back, in one way or another. In the mean time his generosity coats her heart like a glazed strawberry dipped in melted chocolate.
While she looks through the racks, finding something that both fits her figure (rather thin) and her height (fairly tall for a woman at 5'8") is the real trick. As for those shoes she had wanted, she found those almost right away. A well used but not worn out pair of black boots.]
I'm going to try this on.
[Stated to Ahab despite the protest of the person who runs the stall. There isn't a changing room. Such a small detail isn't about to stop her. Red balances on one foot and tugs off the first boot she's wearing with a few hops to keep her balance, then does the same for the other boot. She pulls the jeans on over the top of her stockings and up under her yellow skirt.
She then pulls the simple gray shirt on over her top, after taking her jacket off, and is soon wiggling the dress the rest of the way off up through the neck hole of the gray shirt. After that, she gets her new ankle boots on, and checks the fit of it all. She's pleased.
Red looks up to check on Ahab and gets an eyeful of his backside as he checks out something on a lower shelf. Now that's something to smile about. With a slight tilt of her head and a subtle smile, Red will enjoy this view for a few seconds before interrupting him.]

This'll do.
