The Orange paladin hadn't been what Luxin had been expecting... and yet, at the same time, she was almost exactly what he pictured when he thought of the left arm of Voltron. She had been smaller than he'd foreseen, and thin, with a head of dark brownish hair that reminded him very much of a lion's mane. Deeply tanned, mocha skin and pale eyes ringed with eyelashes of the same dark brown shade as her hair. The girl was wild, headstrong, and confident - to the point of it being a flaw. He couldn't help but worry that she might, perhaps, be too impulsive for a team setting. Of course, he wouldn't know for sure until he met her with her teammates, but he figured she would get on fairly nicely as the pilot of the Orange Lion. Which were the main focus after he'd already found Arin. It might be difficult to find suitable paladins in the near vicinity, but maybe whatever higher beings existed in this world would have mercy and allow them one small victory.
"Oh, Alfor," Luxin whispered solemnly from where he resided inside the hexagon they'd created. His own mindscape had formed a fountain to rest at before a castle - the smell of lilies blew in on the breeze, and the sun was constantly shining. He could only hope that his old friend had somewhere just as beautiful to exist now. "Please... if you are out there... help us find these paladins. Help us achieve our dream of a truly peaceful universe."
The voice that came back did not belong to Alfor - it was young, female, and becoming increasingly familiar to him. "We'll find the paladins, Luxin," Arin assured. He had thought she'd fallen asleep after they sent the energy beacon out, but apparently he was mistaken. "And then, when we get to our Lions, we'll kick some Altean ass!" There was a small pause, and then a sheepish, "But... not your Altean ass. Don't worry."
A snort of laughter escaped the former scientist, and he leaned back on the fountain to gaze at the sky his mind had formulated. It was not as beautiful as the skies on Altea had been - there was something so flat about the shade of it. "I am sure you will," he placated gently, expecting Arin to return to her own dream world as she'd been before. He was allowed a few moments of silence, as it were, because the human started talking again a minute later. Luxin couldn't even be upset about the lack of solitude, however, as all he could feel from the paladin was good intentions. She wanted nothing more than to calm him down - perhaps she could feel how anxious he was about this whole situation.
"Let me tell you about the time I crashed my older brother's go-kart and caught this camper on fire."
And, in that second, Luxin could've sworn the sky took on a hint of orange.
It was a nice change.

An - Very short update to let you guys know that I have received three completed submissions so far, and all have been great. This is not a first-come, first-serve kind of thing, though, so I am definitely looking for more submissions for all of the Lions! Please keep on submitting.
I've decided that the deadline is this Sunday, at around midnight. So please try and get your forms done by Saturday night so you don't miss out!
Love,
