BACK TO THE ORIGINAL (I’ve gone way off track) Lucio darts off into the brush, heart pounding as soon as you’ve looked away, maybe he can escape or get to Hanzo? he peaks back when he doesn’t think he was followed, it takes him a lot of courage to look back at the fire from the brush but you’re just sitting there looking a little sad? he thought you’d be chasing him by now. he shouldn’t stay though, and flees. he can’t stop wondering why you didn’t hurt him though
you keep returning to hike on the same trail, hoping to some day see that Naga again and apologize, he seemed so frightened you feel horrible. Lucio always watches when you’re back, sneaking glances from hidden places like Hanzo taught him. maybe you aren’t evil? you havent hurt anything else around. he’s shaking like a leaf when he lets himself be visible, you perk up and say hello, he panics and leaves,
it takes a long time but slowly starts to befriend you, it’s nice talking to someone else! he’s only had Hanzo and McCree to talk to since he was left in the woods, he did meet a pretty centaur named Mercy once, she was nice but doesn’t stick around. he’s scared of that naga Moira though, she hissed at him when he was little and McCree and Hanzo both chased her away, making sure he stayed with them for days after the encounter.
Lucio’s so happy he made a friend too! now he’s right next to you once you’re in the woods for the day, chatting the entire time and showing you his favorite places and sunning rocks, he tells Hanzo and McCree all about his new friend too, and they’re worried. he’s still so innocent and naïve, what do you want with their boy? a hunter trying to trick him?
