He stood up as well, and while he wasn't the most happy that it would end up on being on Thursdays, he could work around that without issue as well.
"Of course, I'm excited to get started on that," he said with a smile, "see you on Thursday" and with that he started walking towards the door, to leave unless he was stopped. His visit was at least productive and was mostly excited to at least start on getting things done no matter how long it took.

He had allowed his hand to be grabbed as he noticed the lack of writing when he had dropped that nugget of knowledge. It was nice hearing those words, but hadn't expected such empathy. He knew everyone had their own skeletons and now he was curious about Dr. Barrow's given what was just shared. He didn't ask because he knew that in such a setting, it wasn't about the doctor, and that his past was hard for him to talk about, then I'd someone could relate with him on that, then it was probably hard for them to talk about too.
"That's fine. My days off from this job are Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays so any day that I do work would be preferable. There is one day I'm at the other campus, but I can make it here no issue on that day too. I appreciate this." He said, knowing that even though it was a short visit. It was a good start, he'd be getting help from now on, and hopefully at least start to learn to live without these issues compounding him always.

"No," he said not quite sure how Dr. Barrow would take this next piece of information, "when I was experimented on, the big thing that was done to me was I was augmented with angel DNA. I'm roughly about 2/3rds angel with all that's been done to me, or so I've been told."

"I'm not sure. The only person to have told me he hated me to my face was my Dad and he's been long since dead," he didn't know how others felt about him really unless he was specifically told. He wasn't about to assume that people liked or hated him. Part of him felt like he was liked and that others did care about him to an extent, but he kept his distance as well, not wanting that to change either.
"I'd be open to medicine, but my sleep is a little wonky even without the nightmares. I've been previously diagnosed with non-24 sleep awake disorder and used to take medicine for that when I was younger. Not sure what it was, but since I have both a night and a day job I tend to take two really good naps a day, but neither are longer than 4 hours usually. I'm generally not overly tired provided I don't have a nightmare. As long as this medication doesn't require me to sleep a full 8 hours at once I'll be fine" He explained his hectic schedule a bit. Part of him did think about leaving his current day job at times, but he'd really only do that if he found someone to become serious with who was either a 2nd or 3rd shift person or someone who could only be awake at night time anyway.

"Mostly to not hate myself or the choices I make anymore," he pensively responded, "I feel like I'd be less, uncomfortable, with being free if I can do that. I'm also hoping with a more positive outlook that the nightmares of which I relive the worst it's of my life will also stop and that I can function a bit better within the dual societies this city has as well with being able to sleep a bit more and better." Mentioning a part of his life he kept pretty guarded. He didn't get much sleep, sometimes it was because he was busy, sometimes it had to do with his inability to perceive light, and sometimes it was these nightmares. He did occasionally crash and sleep decent, or even sleep well after panicking about something, but it was rare to happen on its own.

He was confused by the angel's time frame but watched as they left. He raised his left hand to his chest, almost to help contain how fast his heart was beating. What a terrifying experience.
One thing he knew for certain is that he needed to talk to Remi, and figure things out.
He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket, and requested an uber as he walked towards the parking lot for the beach. He wanted to be home after this confrontation, to give him a familiar place to calm down.

"The new beginning is having this freedom. I was born blind, as a child, my dad sheltered me, didn't allow me really to do anything without his express permission or unless Mom chaperoned me. Gave being blind himself and being older and thus knowing more about the world as an excuse. Mom worked a lot since Dad didn't and couldn't chaperone me as much as she would have liked, I think. They both died when I was 16, the foster family I had was also sheltering, but mostly because of their religious views rather than me being blind. Could barely listen to music in there and they had no TV for example of how strict they were. I was quickly adopted by a man after that who was a vampire scientist that enjoyed experimenting on humans. I was experimented on and he had a very short leash on me until he died, which was very recent."
He was as brief as he could be but truthful, however he was unaware that Dr. Barrow had more or less asked what gave him this freedom, but he felt it was a decent place to start.

"Sounds very reasonable." He said feeling a little better about it all, particularly with Ben, the dean, and the students not finding out about such things.
"Where to start is hard given that this is really only a short thing, but I'm at a new beginning basically. I feel lost and unsure of where to go from here. I'm used to people having some sort control over me, and, this is the first time I've been truly free. I feel lost with all that freedom." He said figuring to start with the most basic of his issues. He was factual, and while a little closed off body language wise, he was otherwise neutral.

Those words struck a chord with Dreki. Hofflan had always called him a failure, he had felt he failed Emma. He didn't feel stuck but he did want to learn how to use his powers better. He had looked for help from Remi but hadn't heard back yet, and honestly, didn't know when he'd hear back. Meanwhile right now someone was offering to be his help, his guide.
The only things that stuck out to him in a bad way was that this Angel mentioned that they had gone too far, and that he'd need to change to stay. He'd been like this for 11 years now. He had an idea however. What becomes of an angel when they change? Fallen or Dark. He didn't like that premise and fed into his uncomfortableness. The offer was still very highly tempting.
"Can, I have some time to think on it?" his tone pensive. He couldn't come up with an answer right now, he was otherwise too conflicted within his own thoughts.

"Yeah," He responded "I should have lead with that." He almost apologized again but stopped himself.
"Is there anything you need to know about me or things that I need to know first or should I get into things?" He asked, still unsure of what to do or how to handle this really. He felt awkward coming for personal help like this, even though he reminded himself that this was part of Dr. Barrow's job here.

"My mission isn't secret, it no longer exists. The people who made me like this no longer exist. It's in the past and I've put it all behind me. I'm not being obtuse, I'm telling you the truth." He responded, sounding a mixture of scared and exasperated at this point. This angel just threatened to kill him, he certainly wasn't going to come back to these beach ever again if he made it out alive. He didn't really want to explain the why of it knowing that it would be bad for him, even though he was a victim in the whole mess of it all himself. He moved his hands, the thumb of each hand now say in it's respective pocket. He wanted to go for his phone without making it too obvious, and now is working slowly working towards that.

He didn't like where this was going one bit, but he wasn't fully sure what this angel was asking of him.
"My objective is to relax on the beach, ponder life a bit, then leave." He responded as he kept his hands at his side, his physical stance had yet to change at all since their interaction beyond Dreki turning to always be facing this angel as they moved around him. He mentally prepared for the worst by mentally making sure right hand ever ready to go into his pocket with his left ever ready to grab his sword. He knew he couldn't win a fight against a full angel of any kind, that he may be able defend himself for a while, he was taught how to fight with his sword in the facility although it was with a decoy sword since his used to burn him back in the day. Given how this one was reacting to him, he wondered if they were Dark or Fallen because Remi had responded to him with curiosity and Remi was an angel of light. He wondered if there was a way to even find that out.

He frowned, realizing that such underestimation didn't last very long. That his wings gave him away despite them not even being out right now. He had a thought of maybe all the times he'd seen Remi, that Remi didn't always have the wings out. He wondered if this Angel purposefully had theirs out at all or not.
"I can fly, yes." He responded, "I don't have a specific purpose beyond just being myself. If you're asking why I'm here, I just wanted to spend time on the beach."

He noticed the angel's mistake, in thinking that he was just a guardian angel. He didn't mention anything as he didn't feel it important to point out the gross underestimation that this angel just did. He's also never met one, only read them fleetingly in a book looking up other information.
"I'm 29 years old," He answered noticing an odd expression on the angel's face. It was far enough that he couldn't make out anything superfine, such as the wrinkles on the angel's nose, but the noise and movement of the mouth, and how it affected the nose, pushing the nostrils upwards for a moment, how a step back was taken even after moving closer, he could tell there was a sense of disgusted there.
"What does it matter if I know about myself or not?" He then asked, a mild sense of possible annoyance shown through tone that time. He never had someone treat him with that amount of disrespect just based on what he was. It angered him, and made him want to leave this situation even more.
