This fic was inspired by one of David Sedaris' short stories that had me rolling on the floor. I don't think mine's as funny but I hope you guys all like it FMA style!

Lin yawned and stretched, wishing the train would go faster so he could get off and walk around. He didn't understand why so many Amestrians used the railcars. They were such an uncomfortable way to travel.
"Look out, Honey! He's going for your wallet! Damn Xings." The owner of the rough, burly voice glared disapprovingly at Lin as he and his wife made their way down the aisle just as Lin stretched out his arms.
The woman, in a fancy dress with a little white boa and a big floppy hat, clutched her purse to her body with both hands and Lin, smiling inwardly, piped up in "perfect" "English(1)".
"Go for wallet, me?" He asked, wide-eyed. Jumping up, he snatched the man's wallet out of his back pocket and bowed at lightning speed. "I am foreigner here, you thank so very!" he exclaimed before hopping onto the backboard of his seat and fleeing down the length of the traincar.
"Get back here you little bastard!"
"Food for you, kindness, you thank so! Amestris generous, wonderful place yes yes!" Lin dashed out of the car and climbed onto the roof to join Lanfan and Foo.
"Where did you get that, my prince?" Both Foo and Lanfan stared at the money.
Lin grinned, "I no speak this country language."
Both servants rolled their eyes. That was one way to get what you wanted. A way their prince was suspiciously skilled at.

(1) I only put English in quotations here because it might really be Japanese... it just depends what language is spoken in Amestris. You get the gist though.
Hahaha, go Lin! I hope everyone understood that. He pretended not to understand what they were saying.
And for those of you who have read David Sedaris and failed to see the inspiration, the idea was from Pick a Pockettoni. It's in Me Talk Pretty One Day.
R&R please!! Pretty please, you give me now review yes yes? Kindess happy me!
