Makeup on, hair ruffled, costume revealing, Eli checked himself one more time before nodding. Perfect. And just in time to get out to his pole. Which he did right away as and was soon smiling sweetly at people who were eager to offer him money for peaks of his athletic body.

Spinning around the pole, he slowly slid down it when he thought he saw... No way. It couldn't be. Probably just someone familiar.

Only he couldn't run because he was on the clock. Forcing a smile on his face, he shoved his gaze back down to the men trying to get his attention so he could get down on his knees and crawl to them instead. Focus on the job. Don't look that way. That was all he should do right now...
