Heading from his apartment down to the bakery wasn't really all that bad for Ben, despite being in Japan for the last 3 or 4 years, his blood was still used to the cold of Canada. Therefore, while several people were about in parkas and hoodies, Ben was just as comfortable in his lightweight windbreaker, humming a soft little tune. Staying up until 2am as part of the New Years celebration wasn't really that much of a challenge for him, particularly since he's normally a night owl anyways, for him that has always been one of the best times to cook anyways. As a matter of fact, he smelled as though he done quite a bit of sweet making the night before for his family including some maple syrup cookies, which his jacket smelled quite a bit like. One good note to him spending most of the night cooking was that he didn't drink much of anything other than water, wanting to keep on his best.

Eventually, he made it into the Bakery through the front door and looked around at everybody, blinking as he watched everyone in a little bit of discord, "Uhhh...?" he asked before shaking his head, "Good morning, everyone. Is everything, alright." With that, he headed to the cashier's counter and the fresh goods display, starting to tidy it up, keeping an eye on everything, "Hey, David...ummm..." he paused for a while, as if trying to remember something, only to curse to himself, "...shoot!" However, he recomposed himself, "David, do you remember where the cleaner was?"
