...that being Lucas North means that also being covered in hideous prison tattoos never makes women want to scream and run in the opposite direction

...that no one held in captivity for long periods of time ever needs to go to the toilet.

...that no one held in captivity for long periods of time ever has dog breath or BO and can still stand right next to someone without making them pass out.

Being covered in prison tattoos never needs any sort of explanation.
