( when julien was an infant, he often experienced very random and extreme bursts of magic, particularly when he was sleeping. his father assumed that it was just because of his lineage, but later learned that it was likely because julien possessed great magical abilities and would likely tame them when they came around to be present in his life. unfortunately, though, as you may know, he did not experience any bursts of magic or have any signals that he was ready to use or learn about it around the same time that the other young angels did, but this time around, malachi knew exactly why; julien had to learn the secret of his birth and become comfortable in his world as a hybrid. as loving and protective of a father malachi was, it was irresponsible for him to keep the secret, even if he feared that revealing it prematurely and at an age where it would be difficult for his son to digest would make him vulnerable to the angels around him. of course, it would save him from being socially ostracized, which he cared less about as he aged anyway due to his budding interests in things that he could easily do as a form of self-entertainment, but waiting until julien was in his 20s to tell him the secret and for him to truly gain and tame his powers will likely take him many more years than the other angels around him who were able to start young. )
