So, maybe Xing had started out to the market for the idea of legit food. The fact of the matter was that as soon as he got the the market, he realized he'd left whatever currency he had back at his little apartment.

And Xing was already far too hunger exhausted to track back. So, after taking a few more steps, his energy gave out and he toppled down into the snow.

And laid there.

Until he vaguely felt the prodding of another. "Hnng?" Was the small sound he made as Fullmetal turned him over.

".....Hungrrry....Collld..."

Fullmetal tilted his head to one side and brought it a little closer to the stranger as he began to mumble. "Wha... hungry and cold?" He repeated it mostly for his own benefit, as the other person didn't seem energetic enough to clarify any further. He pulled off his own jacket and managed to wrap the stranger in it, then did his best to pull him out of the middle of the walkway.

He went over to the stall and bought a large bag of kaiser buns, trotting back quickly to the stranger. He squatted down in the snow next to him and pulled the bag open, picking one of the buns off the top and offering it to the un-energetic youth. When there was no response he poked part of the bun into the stranger's mouth, hoping that would entice him to eat. "Hey, it's not like I can chew for you."

Xing clung to the jacket as he felt it wrapped around him. Where had this come from? Was someone really helping him? He weakly glanced up at Fullmetal as he was being moved out of the way and against a wall.

...Okay well. That was a little helpful. He was warmer, but he was still hungry and it looked like his Good Samaritan had decided that was enough and left.

Xing curled up tighter, trying to keep in as much heat as possible, wishing he had the strength to get up but he found no such motivation. Was this it? Was he going to die?

And then something was stuffed into his mouth. It was warm, and fluffy and...

...FOOD!?

Xing suddenly found the energy to devour that poor bun in barely a second.

Fullmetal wrenched his hand back in surprise as the bun quickly disappeared. He was pretty sure he had just felt teeth on two of his fingers, but there were no marks, so he decided it was likely just his imagination. "Uuum... are you feeling better? Maybe you should go see the doctor?"

He offered over the entire bag of buns at this point. With the way the first one had disappeared, he assumed that being between this guy and food was probably not a safe thing.
