Yep. Magnetic. That way you've got something extra keeping your feet in place, but nothing that's gonna break your ankle if you get twisted up in the harness. Plus, if shit gets really really real, long as you've got those on, you'll still be able to get a grip on Red even without the saddle, since she's metal all over. That's really a last resort kinda thing, though. Wouldn't recommend trying it out unless you have to.

[ As he is talking Cisco starts fastening the harness onto Red, tapping each front paw in turn and waiting for her to lift them before he could slip the thing on. After that, it's a matter of tugging, cinching, strapping, adjusting, and re-adjusting. If it ends up working out, he'll show Keith how to do it himself. He'd tried to streamline the process, so Red could be battle-ready in no more than a few minutes.

Once he's gotten the thing in place, Cisco takes a few steps back, scrutinizing before he gives a nod. ]

Go ahead and give a whirl, now, see how that treats you.

[ And Cisco watches Red intently, looking for any places the leather might bunch up, or twist awkwardly. Those sorts of things wouldn't be an issue, right now. Probably not even an issue for a few months. But over time, they would cause strain, and weak points, so it's better to catch them now if at all possible. ]
