The church summoned most of the nobles?
To Benjamin, this was important news at the time.
In this moment, he suddenly realized: going elsewhere to gather information was useless. To find out what was going on inside the city, he had to find out from the lips of nobles like Dick.
If only he could go back into the city now, things would be so much easier; but with how he looked now, how could he even step foot into the city?! Should someone recognize him, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself at all!
Hence, he stopped his departing steps and turned around instead, towards to theatre once more. He slouched, trying his best to look as much like a beggar as possible so he could eavesdrop in Dick’s conversation with his workers.
After what seemed like a bunch of bullsh*t and gossip about the theatre and performances, Benjamin heard this,
"Master, has something happened inside the city?"
