It did feel like Lucas wanted Harry to feel the pain he had through the tattoos he showed. I'm not sure however if the message came across, they never spoke of it again if I remeber correctly.
I also wonder what was spoken about in that talk Harry said to Lucas, they would have. (Harry said 'we must have a talk when you are back, a proper talk')

I think that from the look Harry gave Lucas after the iconography was mentioned, it was clear Harry understood the significance of the tattoos, haha. They both seem to avoid talking about it though, I'm assuming neither of them particularly wants to have the awkward conversation about exactly what happened leading up to Lucas' capture, and exactly why Harry never pulled him out sooner. Lucas always seems on the cusp of asking something, but stops himself at the last moment. As someone else pointed out somewhere, after Harry leaves the bathroom, we see Lucas clenching and un-clenching his fists in frustration. A missed opportunity, perhaps?
I was wondering about that chat as well. Was Lucas ever de-briefed? It doesn't seem like he was, unless the writers decided to omit a large chunk of information for some reason

Yeah, I thought that as well. He seems to do it a lot with Harry; always wants to say more but refrains from doing so.
