"Gabriel. Although what you really meant was what am I, wasn't it? There's a handful of angels around. I'm one of them." He'll just be giving her some time to process that. If she's anything like her brother, she'll probably need it. It's not like he isn't used to people needing a moment.

"Before it's your turn to have a version of 'but you look human!', that's because if I was running around in my own form, pretty much anyone who wasn't a fellow angel who got an eyeful would die. Not to mention I'd be way too big to interact with people." So there's that. The whole 'vessels' thing can wait for another time. Maybe when he has both Lightwoods in one spot so he doesn't need to repeat things.

"Anyway. He's mentioned you, although not by name. It was just to comment that the owner of the Roadhouse sounded like you, except blonde. Nothing major," he says with a shrug.
