[The Fabulous Croupelt's Falling Circus]

Val is somewhat stunned standing on stage, the very picture of someone who's not that keen on having so many eyes upon him. At least he's not the center of attention. Speaking of which, Astrana getting in the box is all in line with what he'd expect, but when the strongman comes out and starts to juggle the boxes, his jaw drops open in shock. The logical part of his mind realizes there's some trick or spell here, but still.
