Sitting next to the human, Cael looked into the glass of yellowish liquid. If it made Marshall more comfortable than Cael would do his best to act as a gracious guest, even if he would need some direction on exactly how to do so. Head turning towards Marshall's face, Cael seemed genuinely surprised when he asked; "Do I make you nervous, Marshall?" Taking a sip of his lemonade as if that would help, Cael was surprised at the slightly bitter taste it had and he made a face without intending to. "Sorry-- it's fine. I was just not expecting the taste. I think it needs more sugar, the sweet stuff." He wasn't familiar with many human things but he was rather fond of things that tasted sweet.

Meeting Marshall's eyes when he asked why Cael had saved him, Cael found his eyes wandering back to the cup in his hand, eyebrows furrowed in thought. "I don't know. I act when I need to, it's my duty... But for some reason I wasn't able to stop myself from standing in front of you. It was like my body moved on it's own. I still don't know why. And now no matter where I go it pulls me to you, whatever it was that lead my to my destined duty here on Earth now only leads me to you."
