It took a moment for Cael to realize that the outstretched hand was for before he remembered it was a common way humans introduced themselves. He'd never really stuck around to speak with any of the humans he's protected before, usually they saw a glimpse and that was all-- something they would dream about for years to come. This wasn't a normal situation however, and he'd acted without thinking or without any attention to his duties as a guardian. Taking the hand and shaking it lightly, using as little strength as possible when touching something as delicate as a mortal, looking around at the other people around them at Marshall's question. The wings he spoke of shifted at the mention of their presence, folded against Cael's back in a relaxed position. "Only people I have protected can see them and if they don't quite understand or believe they will forget and lose the ability to see me as I am." Turning his clear blue eyes back towards the tall and muscular cop, Cael finally released his hand after the shake. "I know you, Marshall Rhodes. You may call me Cael."
