#norik

Teridax also loves to speak at length (or at least hear his own voice).

Tahu and Norik get roped into helping Dalu build snowmen for an hour. Tahu playfully launches her into a snowbank, and when she tries to retaliate he instinctively puts up his shield. She doesn't seem to realize that's what happened, but Norik clearly notices, and when they get inside he drags Tahu off to give him the third degree. It turns out Norik has been a Toa of Fire for longer than Tahu has been alive, and Varian is a Toa of Psionics as well. Norik's team handles large-scale external supernatural threats rather than protecting a specific place or person. On his way out the door, Onua finally comes out to his family, telling them that he's dating Lewa and that he loves him and is happy with him. They're a little awkward about it, but ultimately accepting and happy for him, and his mom is mostly upset that he didn't tell them earlier so she could wheedle more details out of him.

Relevant chapters:

Do we really never get a scene where the Rahaga find out that Ketongu can't cure their mutation?

Like, that's a really big thing for their story, and yet it seems to go from them seeking Ketongu for that purpose, finding him and then just skipping ahead to a scene of Norik saying to Vakama he has accepted that he can't become a Toa again.

I was inspired

Norik and Varian reunion and one of the first Bionicle fanarts I ever made (Because I was left so traumatized after reading "No one Gets left Behind" and just HAD to see them reunited)

Also why does this song fits them so well *heart breaks*
