The Beast was fleeing through the streets, a sack cloth weighing heavily in their paw, though nowhere near as heavy as The Mask.
"You must run faster, Beast. Your pursuers are almost upon you!" The Mask warned her. Not vocally, of course. No one else could hear The Mask speaking to them.
I'm aware, Mask. The Beast grimaced. They slipped and ducked through the crowds, shouldering past passersby, their cape fluttering behind them. I'm trying to lose them. It was a bad idea to do this job during the day.
The Beast kept running, peeking inside the bag for a moment to check the contents. A couple of apples, some loaves of bread, potatoes and carrots. The bread was getting squished, but there was nothing The Beast could do about it right now. The momentary distraction was enough for The Beast to slam into someone, sending them both to the ground and the contents of the bag spilling out everywhere. The Beast sat up, their head ringing within The Mask, and looked to see who they had just run into.
