Cael stilled for a moment, hand coming up to rest on the cheek that Marshall's lips had touched with a hint of surprise. He'd seen humans do that before too but from what he had gathered it was much less of a casual thing and more for mortals to show their affection. Shaking himself from his slight stupor, Cael turned to where Marshall had disappeared into the kitchen watching him search for something before standing and coming closer to the mortal to get a better look at what he was doing. "Maybe it would help if I stay close to you for a while," he offered, though he didn't want to intrude on the man's life more than he already had. "Everything I've ever known keeps drawing me towards you, perhaps I should keep close and see if you have any answers for me without knowing it."

The mortal was trying, Cael could tell that much. Trying to make him comfortable and welcome in his home despite having no need for any of the objects inside it. "I like sweet things," Cael admitted, leaning his wings back against the wall as he watched with pale blue eyes. "I don't know much about human cooking or meals but I do enjoy sweet things." With the sweet tooth that Cael could have when he wanted it was a good thing he was an angel and whatever food or drink he took in was immediately burned up in his body. "Though I'm willing to try whatever you make, Marshall. Don't bother yourself too much."
