Shannon reached up to flick his finger across Eli's nose in response. If they were going to be playful about it, he could certainly respond in kind. There wasn't much Shannon could do on par with the clamps, but he could start giving different reactions all together... when he was of the mind to manage that much, anyway.
It was a good thing Eli clarified, because Shannon had already opened his mouth awkwardly before he became somewhat more subdued. "Right, okay. Guess that's a thing now," he acknowledged. It was still weird to think that he was in a committed relationship with Eli Delacroix, yet had made actual plans to sleep with someone else entirely despite said relationship. He'd heard of that kind of stuff going on before, but never had he imagined his own life going in quite that direction. "I'd say why don't you make some of your own that wouldn't short out, but... that's probably not all that great of a way to spend the time, huh?"
