[Black Hat makes no sound as Flug explains, nor does he for a few seconds after. It takes a moment to process, to comprehend that not only is his money not in the hands of the homeless, but it is, indeed, within his own possession.
It's the best news he's heard in ages. Of course, there were more good deeds than just those to turn to misdeeds, but to hear that Flug, dutiful, loyal Flug, vile, wicked Flug had been tailing him silently and robbing the poor, ripping their happiness from them after a kindly demon gave them a ladder to climb out of their destitution....
He could kiss Flug right now. In fact, that's exactly what he's going to do.
Black Hat grabs the front of the bag with his free hand and rips it, exposing the lower half of Flug's face. Discarding the torn scrap of paper, he crashes his mouth onto Flug's, a bit more roughly than he intended (but hardly to his objection; he's always preferred roughness). He tastes of blood, acid, and bile, and he's thrown perhaps a bit more of his weight forward than he'll be able to recover from, but but it doesn't matter because his Flug, his partner, prevented the abomination of Black Hat, philanthropist, from existing for more than the span of time it took him to steal back what was given away.]
