#old paladins

New headcanon:

Since we now know that Alfor was indeed a major nerd and liked to collect random stuff from random planets, we must consider this habit and the reactions it gained.

Most people are just rather amused. It’s like, oh, look, the red paladin has a jar of dirt. At one point Trigel calls his collection of stuff garbage and he wouldn’t talk to her for like a whole Spicolian movement. Zarkon makes the same mistake, but also doesn’t apologise, and Alfor pouts about it for like a phoeb.

Usually it’s fine but they end up on one planet at one point, and Alfor starts collecting rocks, and, oops, turns out those were sacred rocks. It takes literally all of Trigel’s diplomatic skill to stop the planet from declaring war on Altea and Voltron.

You think this would have taught Alfor to be more careful, but no, he does it several other times. Plus the inevitable times he or someone else is allergic to something he grabbed, or it’s just plain poisonous. Or alive. That was always a disaster.

As always, Alfor kept the rest of the old paladins on their toes at all times.
