There's this ache I feel inside of me

Like the rage of a roaring sea

How could I be the one...

That shows you the way

When I don't even know the words to say.

I'm all jumbled inside

Moods like Jekyll and Hyde

Can you peel away the meaningless for me?

Carry out the mess and leave the dreams

I know we've walked this road before

But have we opened every door

I know I couldn't try it without you

It's not just something I couldn't do

Because you hold the key

To the greatest parts of me

I'm just all jumbled up inside

Moods like Jekyll and Hyde

Can you peel away the meaningless for me?

Carry out the mess and leave the dreams?

Let's tear away the mess and save the dream

I feel like they would specifically avoid doing anything that would require getting her a passport, so they've almost certainly never left the country together. However, when they do travel, if there's any kind of ticket fee (airplanes, trains, busses, etc) then 9 times out of 10 they'll find a way to sneak Krahka in somewhere. She refuses to be labelled a "pet" and squirreled away somewhere, so this usually takes the form of her turning into a small animal and hiding somewhere in Onewa's clothes. If they're at the airport she gets past security by virtue of Being A Spider and then climbs into Onewa's shirt and chills there as a lizard or whatever for a while.

I assumed you meant this to be the KNPS versions on account of What Happens In KNPS so that's what I went with. Ahkmou playing chess with his FRIEND his GOOD PLATONIC FRIEND that he has NO romantic feelings for and Takua playing chess with his friend :)

Bonus:

Click. Kopaka stared at the phone screen. All he could really parse from the call was that his and Pohatu’s date tomorrow was cancelled, and somehow Tahu was the one that had pushed Pohatu to bail on him. An urge to forcibly insert a very large icicle into the Toa of Fire’s back end settled unto Kopaka. Well, he probably wouldn’t go that far. Probably. But Tahu was definitely going to get more than a piece of his mind when they next met!

Finished that sketch for @magicalgirlmascot, inspired by this one video of a kitten sleeping on a buff guy's chest that I can't find anywhere.

KNPS!Cat!Artara is clingy as shit despite her ability to understand human speech. Axonn just kinda learns to put up with it, after seeing her master the art of Big Sad Eyes.

While supervising his class taking a test, Kopaka "hallucinates" a hole in the wall between his and Tahu's classrooms. This disturbs him, but he brushes it off when Pohatu stops by to ask if they can switch their trade period. He ends up agreeing to teach his own gym class, and becomes flustered when Pohatu jokingly refers to meeting up for lunch as a date. At lunch, they discuss Kopaka's students, and afterwards Pohatu can't stop thinking about Kopaka, having realized he's fallen in love with him. Going to the office to get some printing, he discusses it a little with Vakama, who encourages him to be forthright with his feelings before freezing up and demanding he go to the gym immediately. On arrival, he realizes a light fixture is going to crash down on Kopaka and tackles him out of the way just in time. That evening, Kopaka is confused by his feelings about Pohatu and concludes that something is wrong with him.
