[He doesn't bother to answer over the Network; just waits. He's disinclined to go anywhere like this if he can help it, anyway. Part of him would like to test-drive whatever abilities he's gained, but he can't be certain how much of that is his own desire and how much is due to whatever has happened to him.
Hearing voices is an obvious mark of delusion; and for all that he can't claim to be sane, Brian takes a certain twisted pride in the practicality of his mental issues. To hear a voice goading you on is to externalize your own urges; it's something he's never done and something he isn't sure how to deal with. At first it had been nearly subconscious-- by the time he'd realized he must be cursed, he'd been listening without intending to all morning, and then suddenly somehow he'd lost control of things. He has no idea how to regain it; he hopes it's something Dr. Sahl can explain, if she really understands what's going on.
So he's trying to be patient, sitting on a work table since he can't manage a chair in this condition. Everything on it has been swept onto the ground; the wings are hunched up, feathers bristling slightly in his frustration. The door is shut but not locked.]
