Summary
Grian's voice is soft and inquisitive when he speaks. “Now, what’s this about? What’s wrong all of a sudden?”
He likes when his voice gets like this, when he talks to Scar like he’s a human despite not knowing he can understand every word he says, when he treats their one-sided conversations as actual conversations, even if the language isn't there.
‘My best friend left me’, he says. ‘He’s trying to find our family. Or get rich. I don’t know, whichever comes first, I guess. And you and Mumbo are my only friends. But I can't talk to you! And I did it to myself! It's all just so...' He forgets the word for ‘annoying’ in dolphin, so he trails off. ‘Annoying’ isn’t even the right word. It hurts. It's killing him.
There’s no language that can convey that.
or:
Scar is a mermaid. Scar has been left behind by all of his friends. Scar is lonely.
That is, until he meets two humans on the beach, and decides that playing a little joke on them would be fun. So, Scar pretends he doesn't know their language. As a bit. A little prank. But Scar doesn't expect to like them so much, and once he realizes it, he's too far in to go back.

Summary
“I’ve been thinking,” Wilbur continues, because he finds it easy to monologue, apparently, “that you could come and meet my family.”
It doesn’t sound completely terrible, and Tommy trusts Wilbur. He's never led Tommy wrong before (with the exception of the jellybean fiasco at the fair, which Tommy will not be forgiving). But Wilbur’s family isn’t Wilbur. Who knows if Tommy can trust them? What if they take one look at his collar and ship him back to his owners? It’s what a responsible adult would do.
Tommy hates responsible adults.
Tommy, a feral werewolf pup, is adopted by a pack; this goes against all of his best laid plans.

Summary
Deep in a forest, there is a small pack of humans who all stay away from hikers. However, eventually one of them is found injured, half dead, in the middle of the path. The human child with wild gold hair and razor sharp blue eyes is brought to the closest zoo by animal control to be treated. As the juvenile heals, it brings more attention to the zoo, and more knowledge is gained about humans.
That doesn't mean that said human is particularly pleased about it.
