So I like this headcanon that some Irkens can have telekinesis/telepathic skills, althought these skills are not strong enough to be actually useful. However, a very minority does have strong telepathy and it can manifest in different forms. In Red and Purple’s case, they can talk to each other by telepathy with no effort since they are twins and are heavily bonded with each other, but it comes naturally only with themselves, they can’t use their telepathy with anybody else.
Kove also has strong telepathic skills. In his case, he can read minds, although he needs a lot of effort and concentration. However, Red and Pur’s telepathy is so strong that Kove can hear them with zero effort. It can be useful for his advice duties, but it can also be a little annoying and distracting because well… teenagers being dumb 🤷♀️
