Title: New Eyes, Revitalized Rating: G Word Count: 113 Card: Summer Bingo: (Sun + Water + Air + Fresh + Holiday) Summary: That moment you realize, yes, you're all right again.
When Keth was very young, he had lived for the hours spent wading through the Syth's shallows, water lapping at his ankles (then his knees, thighs, waist) and a hint of salt in the crisp, cold breeze that raised goose bumps on his arms.
The past three years had dulled the excitement of even that hobby. But no longer. Niko and Tris were trapped in their vision conference, but he was on holiday. For a few moments, he watched Glaki running happily on the sun-soaked island coast, Little Bear a white blur as they played fetch.
Then he waded in. It was something like being born anew: watching the world with fresh eyes.

I've never been much of a Keth fan, but this is lovely.

Thanks. I do like Keth (or writing him, at least) but I'm glad you enjoyed it nonetheless.

I absolutely adore this piece. Your description is so vivid, and it's such a short, simple piece with so much meaning behind it. Gorgeous!

Thanks. It was initially a bit longer, but I told myself to snip out everything that wasn't the point, and there it was.
