The hand may not have belonged to a woman, but the tone of voice and scent and sounds all did. It was fucking with his senses in a way that didn't seem too dangerous and Shannon was currently enjoying letting the pieces all slot into place on their own time. Unlike the apparently nameless guy at the kink store, Jackie actually wanted to speak with Shannon and that was good enough for him.

"Yeah," Shannon agreed, head tilted toward Eli with an impish grin. "Go meet with Jay, leave the bag here, we'll just sit and chat for a while." Not that he expected that to work at all, but Eli still needed to know that Shannon hadn't forgotten about it. "Shoo. We'll behave. Scout's honor."

Ignoring for the moment that Shannon never had been, nor wanted to be, a scout. That much was obvious just from his bearing. Either way, there were going to be stories and there was nothing Eli could do to stop that.
