I don't so much care about him in particular, as have general approval of anyone rehabilitating characters who got the short end of the fanon stick. Red is resoundingly in this category, and here you make me like him. Streetwise is fine too, actually. He's not doing much, but then he's listening/watching/learning and that doesn't make for great opportunity to take centre stage.

And, yes. Good point, actually. Hadn't thought about it like that.
