The cool thing about photography is that not everyone does things the same way. My approach might be different then someone elses approach yet we may both get usable images from this "available light" situation that you speak of.
Expo, your D70's maximum iso setting is 1600 not 200. 200 is the minimum iso setting. You should only use 200 if you have PLENTY of light to work with. This can be available light or manufactured light (strobes, flash etc). The way that I would approach this scenerio is by using my handheld meter. I would set the meter at iso 200 for example and meter the light that would be hitting the model and see what it read. My target would be F4 ot F5.6. at a safe "motion-free" shutterspeed. If there wasn't enough light to use those F-stops, I'd up the iso to say 400 and then remeter. If that wasn't enough I'd push the iso up to 800, 1000 or maybe even 1600. If you can't get anywhere at that high an iso, I would suggest looking for another place to shoot your girl.
Pictures shot at iso 800 might exhibit some grain. I use a product called
Noise Ninja to combat that problem. It's one of the best products on the market for removing high iso/asa grain from you pictures....check it out!
