( carefully, he pulls the door closed with his tail. thank goodness that it's prehensile and easy to use! it took him a while to get used to having such a powerful physical form; as enjoyable as it was to learn about every little new thing about it, it was equally disparaging that he couldn't unleash the full potential unless tracking down a group of survivors. if had tried, there would certainly be a large number of holes in the ceilings all about the manor from where his head would slam into it. thankfully, luchino has not, and has avoided giving himself many concussions despite being tempted. )

Most of them. However, I've found that reading for pleasure has been a way to relieve some of my stress. Because I haven't been able to properly experiment, it's hard to further my research, unless it somehow involves my own scales, flesh, and blood.

( and this is when he turns around and approaches shiro from behind. looming over him, luchino is... careful to make sure his presence is known, but not to the point of trying to be sneaky. he's not. but what he wants to do is be gentle? be kind. to show off his humanity, bear it for someone who's willing to be in his presence. though he is certainly larger, it doesn't mean he has to use that size to intimidate.

especially when he has other things that might do it. two of them, in fact.

so with extreme care and caution, he places his hands on shiro's sides. gingerly, ensuring his claws don't touch him. a gentle sigh leaves the reptile man. )

I will want to write about these experiences. Even if not for scientific purposes, I don't want to forget them any time soon. This is a first for me.
