"I could go with you," Cael offered as he watched the man tend to the meat on the grill. "To the city, I mean. If you're nervous." Cael wouldn't pretend to know how it felt to be so close to death on any given day considering his was an immortal celestial being, but he'd seen the fear in humans before and could understand why. Placing a hand on the arm that wasn't flipping meat, Cael gave the human what he hoped was a comforting squeeze. "I'm comfortable, don't worry yourself too much about it. It's not like I need much after all, but your company is nice." He wondered what honor was worth as a human, each one of them seemed to have different opinions on that, but from what he'd seen of this cop thus far he felt it was worth far more than other's.

Looking out across the beach, Cael scanned the horizon. "Do you swim often?" Cael asked, hoping to provide the human with something to talk about. He wasn't sure what rambling entailed but perhaps conversation would help him. "I enjoy swimming, though I believe our versions of swimming are different." An airy laugh escaped him, seeming to float away with the wind.
