Ben stares up at the castle with trepidation. Sure, you ask him to dance in front of a fair full of people and he was fine; but the idea of having to actually... talk to people... interact with someone he didn't know and didn't trust... well that's less than appealing. Ben would take dancing over that any day. But he didn't really have a choice, the winter snows having trapped the troupe in this small castle village. As he heads up to the castle for his first day working in the kitchens, he can't help but wonder if this wouldn't be just like home. With bullies and people who sneer at him because of his chosen profession. It wouldn't be the first time that people in another village did that, but this time he wouldn't have the troupe to back him up or protect him.
