(<40) She thinks independently.

"I can't just just let myself put on everything in my way! Especially if this everything may share my blindfold's predatory habits. Instead, let's think of what might be useful to me. For example, I will eventually have to go back onto these ice cold tiles. It would be nice to find a pair of uggs to not worry about freezing my fingers."

Jen bent down and cheerfully searched for something wearable, but was astounded that none of the many pairs of shoes and boots had a less than 6-inch heel.

"I only wore my 5-inch shoes to a prom a couple times, and it hurted like hell afterwards. How am I going to go with any of these?"

"Oh, you'll get used to it. You can't get better at something without trying, can you?"

The girl chose a pair of ankle boots upholstered with nubuck leather and warmed up with thin layer of fur. Very great, but they also had a wineglass-shaped 7 inch heel and a 2 inch thick platform that was rubbery to the touch. There were laces on the front, but Jen assumed they were decorative as none of them budged when she pulled.

As soon as the girl put her feet through the narrow entrance of the booties, she was sure that the temperature issues were behind. The main question was:

"There's a thick ankle strap ending with a massive clasp incorporated into the collar of the each boot, and with it open, they are somewhat loose on my feet. If I push these into their boxes, I may end up with having to find a key for opening them as well. Should I close them?"

"Of course! We don't want a single nasty gust of freezing wind get past our line of defenses!"
