The week passed quickly for Eli and unlike the wait before their first scene, he was confident and calm. This time, he knew what to do and he had things all planned out. There wasn't going to be an issue like forcing Shannon into the right mindset. He had assured him that he wasn't going to put him through that again and he was definitely make sure that he kept himself to it.

While he may not have been nervous, he was still twitchy and impatient. He couldn't help it, he was excited. He'd finally get the proper chance to show Shannon what this was all about without frightening him in an attempt to steal control from him.

Once the day finally arrived, Eli made his way to Shannon's place and tried his best to hide his excitement. He wasn't going to overwhelm him, after all. Bad things happened when he did that. So Eli instead first chatted Shannon up about their respective weeks at work and then once there was a lull in the conversation, he pounced. Well, not actually pounced.

"So would you like to help me change my clothes? I never really got to ask you last time," he said calmly as he watched Shannon.
