Mal added two boxes of ammunition to the assortment of rations on the counter, mentally figured the cost, then adjusted it as Zoe added a box of tea. She held up a small burlap bag of coffee with a questioning glance only to put it back as Mal shook his head with a regretful frown.
“Will that be all?” the shopkeeper asked from behind the worn wooden counter.
“Got a call for some women’s things.” Mal said. "Gloves, good pair of boots, maybe a …” he stopped, looking Zoe over to see what she had on. “Maybe a pair of pants,” he wondered out loud, his eyes asking the question of Zoe.
“Right over in that corner,” the shopkeeper informed him, pointing his thumb to the back of the store. “Everything you mentioned should be in that area. Underwear, too, if you’ve a need,” he added with a wink at Zoe.
Following his directions, Mal moved through canned goods, cleaning supplies, farming implements, and sacks of feed until he came to a long table of folded clothing sorted by item. Forgetting Zoe for a minute, he stopped by the first stack, lifting a pair of white cotton panties up to study them, and then quickly dropped them when he realized she was right behind him.
