Chapter Text
David
What does "do it for the plot" mean?
Shane's Lily
Like do it for the lolz
Do it for the meme
(do it for fun and chaos basically)
Shane
Why do you know any of this?
Shane's Lily
Internet access
Shane
Dad, why are you asking?
It's been commented on the Centaurs' announcement of Ilya signing with them.
Yuna and David have both always followed the official accounts of the Ottawa hockey team. Now, Yuna is extra grateful for that, because she'll be able to see the highlights of her boy's career without worry. Over the past few months, she's made sure to start following some of the individual players, too. Not too many and sprinkling in some from the other teams as well, to avoid sparking questions regarding Shane's next career move. Just enough that she would one day soon be able to click that little button under Ilya's profile picture without raising questions.
Fans can be nosy. They'll turn the most innocent thing into a clue... Except they would be right onto something if they watched Yuna's online activity too closely.
She's looking forward to the day Shane and Ilya officially announce the Irina Foundation and they'll all have to worry a little less about mundane interactions.
Shane's Lily
People think I signed with Ottawa because I was bored
Or that I committed a crime in Boston 😁
Shane
The leading theory I've seen is that you slept with the Raiders' owner's daughter.
Please, do not engage with theories.
Shane's Lily
Which daughter?
Shane
Does it make a difference which one? 🧐
Honey, do you have a publicist?
Shane
Won't hiring one look like damage control?
It can be damage prevention.
Shane's Lily
I'm just gonna sit here in the cottage and not go online until hockey starts
Shane
You've been on your phone for half an hour!
Shane's Lily
Say the man texting me
When we're IN THE SAME ROOM
David
Ilya's is right, I think. Enjoy your vacation. We'll see you tomorrow for dinner!
Actually, Ilya, honey, before we officially start vacationing. Could you share your calendar of commercial shoots and promo engagements with me?
Shane
Mom!
What? I'm trying to make sure we maximize your free time overlap.
Shane's Lily
Yes, Shane. Yuna is doing the hard work so we can spend time together AND you can afford your premium protein powder
Shane
Oh. That's actually really nice.
Shane's Lily
Yes unlike the protein powder
Comes in exciting flavors like the ghost of banana
Distant memory of chocolate
Abstract description of strawberry as understood by aliens
Shane
I changed my mind. Mom? Book me a photoshoot right now.
