Rowan rushes out the door, shutting it firmly behind him. He's halfway down the hall before he pauses, checks his pockets for the key, and continues on down the stairs to the ground floor. He does take some care to move quietly around Ms. Mellow's room (best not to wake her up, in his experience), but his efforts are mostly negated by the noise from outside.

And outside! It's a riot of colors and patterns as people flow through jam-packed streets. Rowan tries his best not to gawk at all of the wonderfully strange people, but he just winds up nearly walking into some of them. So it is that he makes his way to the temple, perhaps a bit slower than usual, with many a hastily muttered apology.
