Luchino hissed quietly through his clenched teeth, but quietly as to not alert the 3 main sportsmen survivors (William, Ganji, and Naib) of his distaste as they gathered together and chattered about their most recent matches, his strong nose crinkling as he got a strong waft of the sweat pouring off them. Although Luchino knew it was a natural bodily process, ever since he became the oh so lovely 'Evil Reptilian' he's found most of his senses enhanced, and he's become disgustingly aware of the lack of hygiene a portion of the men in the manor had. He gave the trio one final side eye and a snort before he resumed his readings on the Genetic History & Evolution of Reptiles, adjusting his reading glasses to sit as snug as possible on the bridge of his snout so he could see properly since that was one of the things he had trouble with in his scaly form. He could see perfectly in darker areas from far distances as any predator can, but putting anything too close to his eyes would make the object blurry and incomprehensible, so he had to invest in the largest pair of reading glasses he could obtain outside of the Oletus Manor. After a minute or two, the group migrated somewhere else to chatter and left him as the only occupant of the lounge, a sigh coming from his nostrils as he relaxed slightly, one muscles leg crossing over the other as he leaned back and actually loosened up without that repulsive stench clouding his brain and pulling at his nerves. Finally he could get some reading time, which he rarely had between matches and at night, since he usually got exhausted from leaping around to hunt survivors. It was actually nice. He hummed a little as he read on, his lipless maw curling into what would be considered his best attempt at a smile as he became invested in the chapter he was roving over, mind absorbing the topics like water on parched dirt. Then he tensed as the smell of another presence entered the lounge, making a subtle rumble of disapproval thrum in his gullet, reluctantly turning to look behind his chair to see who came in just now, forcing himself to use his vocal chords he chose not to use whenever possible. "...Yes...?"
