Markus had decided he needed a break; he had been on the uppermost floor of the Exchange office, becoming a bit of a Circle regular after his initial uncertainty. His recent conversations and the things he had learned about after returning to town gave him an entire new push on his search and desire to learn. The fact that the Sewing Circle had information, something Markus had been sorely lacking in his first attempt, had fueled a mad rush. Luckily, he didn't have a day job and was ahead of his schoolwork, or he might be at risk of getting into trouble.
He had been practicing a bit more, finally branching out to test his skills with small rituals and perfecting the small nullification spell he had worked on. It was nowhere near the power of a ritual, though it did wonders for clearing his work of residue magic so that he could try again. He wished he had more things to test it on, people with other magic, but he had been uncertain about reaching out to others until he felt ready.
Descending the stairs, nodding towards the attendant at the front desk, and giving them a cheerful hello, he paused in the foyer on his way out of the Exchange. He had been there most of the day and realized he hadn't had much to eat or drink. Bringing up his phone, he started to search for things in the area as he stood in the middle of the room, hopefully mostly out of the way of anyone who came through.
