IIRC, I think his hunger gets no relief until he finds some corn in an

abandoned shepherd's bothy. He leaves the Pelerine scarf as an attempt

at repayment. This scene is rarely discussed but might have a lot of meaning.

 

Anyway, so the water Severian drinks is melted snow and he never accepts the

satanicly offered food. Surely there is some significance to that. The story

may be about something greater than the battle between good and evil but 

when offered a choice, Severian seems most often to choose good.
