     He runs a gloved hand through his now-dampened hair, smoothing it back into place before blowing on her nose in response. He knows it’s not something she can likely feel, but the intended mimicry should be obvious. Nothing escaped those shimmering photoreceptors of hers.

    “At least let me put my helmet on first. Steam is fekkin’ hot. Could kill someone like that.”

     Gripping a pair of seams between the plating on either side of her nose, he manages to move her head from side to side with surprising ease. It was times like this that he wished Red wasn’t so damn big. Her size was advantageous in combat against both starships and starfighters, but between missions, it made dealing with her feline social needs a conscientious affair.

blue raised a paw, a pleased, rumbling purr echoing throughout her systems as she gazed so proudly at her sister. she had NEVER been so proud before.

     “Oh, I already knew I’d be good at this, just not that we’d be this great together. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you were surprised too. When was the last time you had a pilot with serious military training?”

     He had to admit, he wasn’t expecting to find out these other paladins she had spoken of were former cadets, all less than half his age, but that didn’t stop him from going through with joining. They were already a decent team, and so long as there was work to be done and fleets to destroy, Fordo was fine with the departure from the trained adults he’d worked with all his life.

     The Paladins weren’t the only thing that required getting used to. Red’s control scheme was different from any he’d seen in his home galaxy, combining aspects of both walkers and starfighters — that was another big surprise, finding out she could kriffing fly. Red was more than helpful in guiding him along, however, filling in the gaps in his piloting like the most advanced auto-pilot imaginable, and the results were no less than phenomenal. This was only their third or forth sortie together and they were already two of the deadliest beings in the universe. 

     Upon seeing the beast bare its teeth and wriggle its claws in perceived anticipation, Fordo drew his blasters in a flash and aimed them straight at the creature’s photo-receptors. Even if that growl-like vocalization it made sounded vaguely like ‘hello’, the robot cat’s display seemed predatory enough to him that he wasn’t going to take any chances.

My Opinion on;

Character in general: The Red Lion… We don’t know much about the Lions as characters in the show, outside of what Allura tells us about them. The Red Lion is proud, and a creature of action - she seems to be the most protective of her Paladin (perhaps because of what happened to Alfor?), and possibly the most stubborn of the Lions. How they play them: I haven’t seen too much yet, but I like the way the mun writes. The Red Lion has a lot of substance to her thoughts, and she struggles with the metaphorical - she prefers to take things head on, and she is a fixer. An enemy can be taken down in a straight-up fight, but emotional hurts…you can’t just fix those. I like the personality they’ve given her.The Mun: Haven’t interacted yet!

Do I:

RP with them: Not yet…Want to RP with them:  …But @lionessofthestars and I have a thread where Blion just convinced Zarkon to try piloting the other Lions so you know maybe :3c?

What is my;

Overall Opinion: Good writer, wanna see more and defo wanna write with them 

✰✧✩✰✧ anonymoussend me a URL & i’ll talk about them@iincendixm

tbh shea runs the best blog on this whole damn website.iincendixm is phenomenal, both in writing & characterization.this red lion is THE red lion as far as i’m concerned.

shea is also ? so adorable ?? sends the very best asks i’ve ever received,& i love answering them bc i just. i love the relationship we’ve put togetherfor our muses. my keith absolutely adores shea’s red. 

BUT ALSO,i will never be over the fact shea keeps Red AS RED. shea plays this big damn war machine & manages to make this bigcomet-born mecha so EXPRESSIVE, & gives her believable REASONSas to what she can do & why she’s the way that she is.

shea has CLEARLY poured so much love into this character,made her so much more than we get to see in the show - WHICH ISN’T A LOT ;ALL WE KNOW IS THAT RED IS BIG AN’ ANGRY - & i just love the love that’sbeen put into this portrayal.

                                                           “ It’s not FAIR !”

                He sits in her cockpit,                 slumped back in the pilot’s seat with his arms crossed.                        “ We helped just as much, if not MORE ! ”

Irritation born of treatment imparted by the newest alien species--- SO WHAT he and Red had something of a DESTRUCTIVE streak - the ENEMY was taken out, so wasn’t that all that mattered ?  Keith didn’t CARE for the gratitude, honest,  finding enough satisfaction just in a job well done, but when he and his lion were looked upon with DISDAIN he grew AGITATED. 

...Criticizing looks from the Alphex were met with snappish retorts from the Red Paladin, which resulted in Shiro suggesting ( demanding. ) that Keith take Red and wait by the castle.
