Whatever Shannon had been expecting Eli to do in follow-up for the little show, tying up his hands hadn't been on the list. Well, it had somewhere (he'd done a modicum of research as well as he could being a blind man in the nineties, thank you), but not in a situation like this. His head tilted at the sound of hollow plastic, the click of the clip and things got even more confusing for him. What was Eli getting up to now?

Nothing really screamed any sort of alarm bells, however, and so Shannon allowed himself a nod. Partially to show that he'd heard, and partially to feel the leather gloves against the nape of his neck. "Yes, sir," he said. That was the easiest way to answer, no chance for him to say something out of line again. He would do this and he'd do it well. Maybe he'd get another kiss for it.
