Summary:

Shane had no issue helping Ilya. He knew English was a frustrating language-knew the struggles that came with having to learn a whole other way to communicate.

And honestly, it gave him a feeling of fulfillment. He loved being helpful, loved being useful.

So he was more than happy to translate when Ilya needed.

Shane just never thought the day would come when their roles would be reversed.
