There's another weary man in the crowd, but he has a full belly and a theromos full of coffee. He watches the man -- the blue jacket had caught his attention, but it was the the stumbling vagrant that held it. He watched from his seat at the cafe, before he flagged down the waitress and put in a second order.
Once he was done eating, he followed the path he'd seen the man wend his way through the crowd. A battered fellow with an unkempt beard? It stood out. He caught a glance of him, finally, taking up a spot near another bar, leaning and looking like he'd been sleeping rough for years. The glimpse of the cheekbones sharp enough to cut glass promised he hadn't had a proper meat in days. The thickness in the middle said most of what he got went to booze, putting on empty calorie carb fat even when times were lean.
"Hey," he he said, before he proffered two things: a new stainless steel thermos full of coffee, and a bag of sandwiches and waterbottles. "Can't give you money, but I can buy you a meal."

Or three.
