Poor Eli is still too young to know the amount of honeyed words businessmen have to spit. The boy is naive and easily swayed, and that suits the wolf just fine.
Voight would give anything to savor the fear in Eli's eyes whenever he reaches a breaking point, but he didn't get to where he is by being stupid. He knows just the right time to issue praise, just what kind of sweet things could soothe the boy's heated heart.
And every time, despite the hesitation, sadness, and even outright anger in his eyes, Eli would melt into the wolf's paws, ready to be molded again and again and again.
Voight wants to call it calculated, but who's to say he couldn't harbor some love for Eli. How couldn't he? The bun is soft, demure, considerate of others, patient and rational in the face of hardship, and so, so cute.
But in his heart even he knows; he 'enjoys' the boy just as much as he 'loves' him.

I was a bit hesitant to upload this one. Voight came out alright but Eli's panel is kinda flat and uninteresting imo. I'd thought about redoing it entirely but I'd already started coloring and said screw it. Only got so much art time per diem y'know.
Any way, been wanting to do more with Voight lately. Like, actually make him a character instead of a looming threat over Eli's head. Course going into detail only further solidifies what a creep he is, but there's good in there somewhere. At least enough to occasionally comfort the bun instead of just hurt him 24/7.
Eli's naive enough for it to blossom into a painful adoration. He learned long ago he needs to take affection and acknowledgement where he can find it. Voight may want him just to hurt him, but it's still wanting him.
(3rd page is a pattern I was going to include in the background but couldn't work in. I liked it enough on it's own to throw in.)
