With Hei so absorbed in the little device he had received, he couldn’t possibly have been watching the plastic grocery bag he had been holding. Not enough to notice the furry thief who had taken interest in it, at least. Timon had followed the man who had seemingly wandered aimlessly into the city, curious as to what the bag held. Considering he had just walked into Paixao with it, and appeared to have arrived there for the first time, there may have been something new inside. Perhaps even something tasty. He never could resist a meal opportunity. Hopefully it was something worthwhile in the bag or Timon would be one a real unhappy meerkat.

As the man drew near a light post, Timon carefully climbed up it to the same height as the bag. His form coiled around the post, almost snake like, as he watched Hei. He had put the journal away, and had probably been more alert than before, but Timon was foolish enough to take that risk. His eyes moved from Hei to the bag as the man passed by, the meerkat making a grab for the bag as soon as it was close enough. He’d have preferred to search its content by other means but it seemed this guy had no intention of putting it down any time soon, nor did Timon have the patience to wait for him to do so.
