Baby you are preaching to the choir. Me and rutog had this same conversation a few pages back like it makes no sense that Jean would be all chummy with Tchalla when they have never had any interaction. Like at least show Ororo acting as a liason or something. And you make a great point about how out of sync red is with his solo. The only thing I can think of is maybe this happens when he goes to space in the next bp arc. Why do you think the books seem so badly misaligned when it comes to these two. Red was such a red flag for me honestly.
And Logan I just need him to stay far away from Ororo as possible. He hasn't brought anything good to the character and I hope this is squashed when they link in his mini.
