"Ah." That made things much easier. Obviously he wouldn't be hurting any of those.
He was pleased with how quickly she'd calmed down. They'd made so much progress! He had to be careful not to overuse it, lest she notice, but this had made for a good test. He might have given her a treat, if he could get away with it. Her better mood would have to be its own reward.
"Non," he said. "No clothes. We will get you clothes. You will be in my home, and so you must dress as is appropriate for a member of my household. If you are to stay here, this is a rule you must abide. I will pay, and so it will present no undue hardship to you. Yes?"
He didn't mind sharing his home—particularly not with someone who had proven so entertaining so far. But he'd seen some of the things she considered appropriate daily wear, and had no interest in having to see them all through the day. Not that she was going to be a purely decorative guest, but as long as she was going to be here, she might as well be a bit decorative. It wasn't as if he weren't doing her the same kindness.
"Good," he said, the corner of his mouth curling into a crooked smile, a glint in his eye. "That will save us some time, I should think."
He stood, his weight on his good leg, and made his way to his closet with a careful limp. It didn't hurt quite so badly now, but he'd rather not risk a stumble. He found another cane hanging up on the wall, solid ebony with a handle of pure gold. There were a subtle series of dents where his fingers gripped it as he looked over various shoeboxes stacked against the wall on the floor.
An easy-to-match black peep-toe pump with an ankle strap, size nine. He knew he'd have at least one. He came back out into the room, cane in one hand and box in the other. "Try these," he ordered, offering them to her.
