shane picking up the way ilya says "wow wow" and developing a habit of saying it FULLY to himself when he's doing things as a vocal stim.
like t GOD he's always aware enough to not do it when he's mic'd up during a game, but wow wow makes a very regular appearance in his daily routine. almost knocked his protein powder off of the counter? wow wow. set a new lifting pr at the gym? wow wow. finished putting his laundry away? wow wow. getting out of the shower after a long day? wow wow.
and he was already doing it before he and ilya got together and is also so used to living alone that he doesn't think about it anymore, but this does mean that ilya 100% hears shane wow wowing under his breath at the cottage and is just ??? is this??? a joke??? he doesn't even know i'm listening??? what the fuck is this next level chirping???
