Shannon followed the motion, head tilting to let Eli know what he was doing. Most of his extraneous movements were really more of an alert to the people around him rather than because it made his senses that much more useful; it was, as many of his physical movements and expressions were, a habit formed of dealing with people as often as Shannon did. When Eli simply came up behind him and started to work at his shoulders, he was confused.

For someone as alert and conscientious as Shannon was of the world around him, there was a lot of tension in his muscles. He wasn't exactly raring up for a fight or anything like that, but he simply needed to be at the top of his game all the time. Massages weren't really their thing despite that, and he tried to let go of some of his built-up walls to let Eli work. "Mm. Shouldn't I be the one doing the massaging?" he asked, amused even though he didn't quite get where Eli was going with this.
