[ He'll hold off on his thoughts to that, for one because this isn't a conversation they're actually sharing, for two, because he's not allowed to talk, and for three, the idea of her getting him all tied down and then making him listen to compliments is... He has defenses for criticism, but he can be cut to the bone by a compliment on a slice of paper if wielded by the right person, and few are more right than she.
For a moment he considers taking that thumb into his mouth, showing her what he can do with it, anything to speed things up a little, but he doesn't, lets her return to her work and surreptitiously checks each one afterward. Usually it's just his arms tied down, so he's building anticipation as to what she has planned. The directive is easily given, but will likely be difficult to actually ... not follow through with? Follow through with? Obey. So he swallows once, nods once, and wonders just what she got out while he wasn't looking. ]
uh huh
