A couple years into Hollanov's marriage, one of the younger (nerdier) Centaurs has a murder mystery themed birthday party. Either him or his partner is running it but the rookie in question is the first one to "die" and the rest of the group has to figure out who did it. Occasionally the lights will flick off and someone else will "die" and join the birthday boy in wearing a sheet over their head like they're ghosts.
Ilya, naturally, appoints himself detective. He is team captain and the most perceptive person here after all. He takes it super seriously, sitting people down on the couch for interrogations, theorizing about motives, trying to connect the victims past "they play hockey and are here".
The gravity with which he is conducting himself does not mean that he's not cracking jokes the whole time, mostly about Shane being his sexy assistant who should have brought his glasses.
Finally, when almost half the team is dead and Ilya is running out of suspects, he makes a joke about handcuffs. Shane laughs.
With dawning horror, Ilya turns slowly towards his husband. "You would never laugh at the idea of me handcuffing someone else."
Shane just flashes an angelic smile and offers up his wrists. "You caught me, detective."
"You're both going to horny jail!" Troy protests, one of the few people here who can do so without being called homophobic. Not that is stops Ilya from doing so, of course.
