Alphonse wandered into the cart, suddenly feeling hungry upon taking a whiff of the confections around him. Putting on a grin, he went over to the table and took some cookies for himself. He took a bite and looked around, hoping to see a familiar face. Also, he wondered just what the occasion was.

Kanji was already there, as if drawn instinctively to the sugary atmosphere. He seemed to be chewing on a bite of a cupcake with red frosting and white, heart-shaped sprinkles, given that he was holding it and there was a good half of the treat missing.

Unfortunately, he noticed that the place was getting less private and a little kid was snooping around. This ended up making him nervous, causing him to awkwardly choke on the cupcake, coughing a bit.

The choking caused him to look up and see the man having some trouble swallowing his food. Briskly, he wandered over, concerned for his well being. "Are you okay?" Al asked.

[textileshoppunk]

It wasn't too long before he recovered from that and responded. "I'm alright..."

However, he was embarrassed when he realized who was speaking to him. Now he had the kid's full attention, it seemed. "...Wh-what're you lookin' at?"

[gentle_alchemy]

"At you." He replied blankly. "You looked like you were choking."

[textileshoppunk]

"Well...yeah." His next response was just as blank as the kid's. "Said I was fine, though, so no big deal."

[gentle_alchemy]

"Okay, I'm glad you are." Giving him a small smile, he extended a hand out to him. "I'm Alphonse Elric. You know, I have a feeling I've seen you somewhere before."

[textileshoppunk]

"The name's Kanji Tatsumi, I guess." At least Alphonse looked like a decent little guy. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad to lighten up and chat, he thought. "Yeah? Where at?"

[gentle_alchemy]

"I'm not sure..."

[textileshoppunk]

Another little mystery, it seemed. This one didn't have anything at stake, though, so it wasn't too bad. "No problem. It's kind of a small world in here anyway, ain't it?"

[gentle_alchemy]

Nodding, he definitely agreed on that with him. "It is. I hope we get to another stop soon! I really liked the last one!"

[textileshoppunk]

"Yeah, it wasn't so bad... for the most part." He was suddenly reminded of that unsavory curb stomp battle against the mystery assassin, Ragnar Grimm, and his disappointment could be seen in his facial expression.

[gentle_alchemy]

Fortunately for Al, his brother had done a decent enough job of shielding him from the 'unsavory' aspects of the train so far. Though he did notice Kanji's change in expression. "Is everything okay?"
