Summary
Rozanov cocked his head. “You speak Russian? Or just the curse words?”
“Yes, I speak Russian,” he snapped, defensive and angry. He knew that it had been a mistake to even try to be friendly with Rozanov. “Why? Do I not look Russian to you?” He scoffed.
“No, not really,” Rozanov said. Some of his teammates laughed, although they mostly looked surprised that Shane was speaking to them at all. Rozanov didn’t laugh, though. “Are you Russian?”
“Go fuck yourself.”
+++
Despite an inauspicious start, when Russia’s Ilya Rozanov learns that Canada’s Shane Hollander is fluent in Russian at their first World Junior Championships tournament, it changes everything and sets them on a different course. Instead of being branded as rivals from the very beginning, Ilya and Shane start off as friends.
And, after all, a little friendly rivalry never hurt anyone, did it?

Summary
Eventually, most everyone at the table has fallen on one side or the other, when Nursey says, cutting off Holster mid-sentence - “Fifteen-hundred is on the high end, but not out of the norm.”
Ransom grins at him. “He said, with an admirable if confusing level of confidence.”
Nursey shrugs. “I’ve done porn.”

Summary
He turns the laptop screen towards Derek, displaying one of the more interesting links Google had provided for 'demon'. The background of the homepage is fire, and it has a huge animation of a gnarly-looking demon blowing fire out of its mouth and wielding a sword. “That’s what I am,” he laughs, pointing at the screen, “Although I must say, this is pretty insulting. As you can see, I am much better-looking than whatever the fuck that thing is. Also that is some fucking weak ass shit as far as fire-breathing goes. And why the fuck would I need a sword? I’m a fucking demon,” he huffs, then shakes his head. “Would you consider this cultural appropriation?” He raises his eyebrows expectantly, waiting for Derek’s answer.
“How did – I – you’re – is being a demon a culture?” Derek blurts.

Summary
Max stands, pacing again, and says, “I mean, what do I do? I can’t tell them I know now. It’s way too late for that.”
“It’s really okay,” Troy says far too optimistically. “It’s not that big of a deal.”
“Yeah, you can say that because you're not the one who heard Ilya tell Shane he misses his slutty little mouth."
Or: The Centaurs' newest rookie speaks Russian. It's too bad that Shane and Ilya don't know that.
