luci's Links
they first met when luci was 9 and aria was 13. aria had been his babysitter, but the two of them continued to hang out even after he grew too old to need a babysitter anymore. now, as adults, luci considers aria to be his closest friend and the only one he can trust with his insecurities and secrets
aria remembers taking care of luci when the two of them were kids, and she treasures that memory greatly. she views him almost as if he were her own little brother, and every day she's proud of how much he's grown. even though both of them are adults now, she can't help but baby him a little...
luci would sometimes get approached by skye in highschool. he was always too shy to really spend much time with him, though... he sort of regrets not taking the chance to reach out and make more friends - the only reason he's even friends with skye now is because aria would keep pushing him to go whenever skye invited him somewhere. he finds skye nice and all, but he thinks his bright personality is a little blinding at times...
skye first met luci when they were both in highschool. they were in different grades, but that never stopped skye from trying to talk to him outside of class. he found luci interesting and wanted to get to know him better, but he never really had the time to go out of his way to hang out with him enough to become close friends, especially since luci was always so preoccupied with studying. they're a little closer now that they're in college, but they still only occasionally hang out. skye has to initiate every interaction...
ruby often comes to luci for medical care - one of his few regular customers. a lot of it is magic-related, though. you'd be surprised at how many afflictions a succulin comes down with can be cured by a bit of white magic. lately, though, these medical checkups have evolved into more casual life advice checkups. specifically, ruby asks a lot about aria, since luci is her closest friend. luci is... mildly entertained by it.
ruby goes to luci often for medical issues. over time, he's grown to see luci as a friend, though he's unsure if those feelings are reciprocal... the two of them give each other advice - ruby helps him out with looking more approachable and making more friends, while luci helps him out with, uh. whatever he has going on with aria
luci absolutely can't stand nini's energy. every time he has to hang out with him, luci just spends the whole time uncomfortably staring off into the distance, completely silent except for the occasional "uhuh" and "hm.." whenever nini asks him something. and of course the "ah, sorry, i must leave at once" the moment he finds an excuse to go
nini finds luci to be kind of a downer. it feels like, no matter how hard he tries to include luci in a conversation, it always leads to the two of them awkwardly trailing off until nini can think of a new subject to talk about. the two of them could probably be good friends if either of them were a bit more flexible, but as of now? they really don't get along!
luci is.. more than a little intimidated by minuet. he's always found her a little scary, even as a kid, but he's grown to understand why she acts the way she does. he still can't help the fight or flight feeling when she looks at him, though. he's always fumbling over himself when conversing with her, and he feels like nothing he says is correct. however, she seems to tolerate him, so... maybe he's just overthinking it...?
ah yes, the boy that minuet's little sister used to babysit... he fancies himself a doctor, so she entertains the idea by coming to him for advice when she gets minor illnesses, but for anything serious, she'll go to the more well-established healers in the area. nothing against luci, she just can't help but view him as a kid. she finds his dedication admirable, though, and enjoys chatting with him whenever the two happen to be around each other
