"I'll see about making the wax boiling hot next time," Eli replied after some amount of consideration. It was good to hear that Shannon liked what they did and he filed that away for later scenes to reincorporate them into it. Especially the gloves and wax, with how much Shannon enjoyed those above everything else. "And if you're good, the next time I use the wax, I'll use the gloves on your skin. How about that?"

While he was talking, he was removing bits of wax from his stomach where he had started their wax session off, pulling the pieces of wax off and dropping them onto the side table to be melted down later for reuse. He'd had to clean up a little bit after he got Shannon settled in, but he liked cleaning and when Shannon inevitably fell asleep, Eli would go out and see how Trigger and Lacey were doing together.
