Summary
“You will not be so nice when we beat you,” Ilya told Shane Hollander, holding onto his hand, not letting him pull away. Not yet.
But Hollander’s brow furrowed, not in anger but in confusion. “Ah, um, sorry,” Hollander said. “Merci. My English is bad. Worse… than you. Maybe slower?” And he leaned in, like that would help him understand.
Ilya’s eyebrows rose, and his smile widened.
Or, Ilya Rozanov grew up in Russia. Shane Hollander was raised in France. When they first meet, neither of them can speak English very well. Somehow, it’s easier to understand each other when words aren’t getting in the way.
(Stand-alone remix of “I’m Reading Your Lips (You’re Speaking My Language)” but this time neither of them are native English speakers, and learning a new language is sort of like falling in love, if you think about it.)

Summary
"Oh." Hollander has gone a little red, beneath his freckles. "I am from… French Canada? Québec? Do you know? Very… very small town there, no English, only French. I try to learn, but— is a bit hard."
Ilya feels mildly stupid. He knew, obviously, that they speak French in Canada, but he didn’t know it was, like— some people’s only language. He’d sort of assumed everyone was fluent in both.
"Huh. Cool."
"Your English is very good," Hollander offers.
Ilya laughs.
"I mean, yeah— I grew up in Minneapolis."

Summary
“You scared, Hollander?” Bryant asks, even though Shane can hear the tremor in his voice.
Shaking his head, Shane just grins, “Surprised they let you up from the kiddie table, Bryant. You've been sitting there for a while, think you're ready to play with the big boys now?”
Luca snorts back a laugh from Shane's right just as the ref approaches. Shane adjusts the grip on his stick and pulls his mouth guard between his teeth, gritting them against the silicone.
Shane wins the face off.
———
Or; Shane's first game against the Voyagers where they quickly learn that just because Shane doesn't fight, that doesn't mean that he can't fight.

Summary
"Anya," Shane said. The firm voice. The one that meant sit, wait, leave it. "Easy."
She did not sit.
She did not leave it.
She knew what leave it meant. She had left many things in her life—shoes, food on low tables, interesting dead things on walks, and she had done so because the rules were the rules and she was a creature who respected them. This was different. Leave it applied to objects.
This was a breach of territory. This was a matter of pack safety.
The rules, she felt certain, had not accounted for this.
Post-TLG: Five times Anya battled to protect her pack, and one time she simply stood watch (like the good girl she is).
