Beyond My Knowing, chapter 28

”Oh…” Lanam replied. ”Do you think I could learn to talk like that if I tried to? Could you teach me?” She asked hopefully.
Kes smiled to herself, feeling warmth from Anara over their bond. ”I don’t know, actually…” She trailed off. ”I don’t know a lot of what my mental abilities can do. That’s what happened last night in fact.” She spoke more softly. ”I don’t know how it happened, but I… gave Anara back the sight she had once, when she was your age.”
Lanam was quiet, not speaking, and Kes could tell that her daughter truly didn’t know what to think about what she’d just learned.
”Artem asked…” Kes went on. ”He noticed the difference and he asked if I could do that for you as well. I told him I didn’t know, because I don’t… but I’d be willing to try. If you wanted me to, asasha, I would try.”
”…It’s up to me?” Lanam asked softly.
”It is.” Anara spoke. ”Of course it is. We love you, so much.”
”Momma…” Lanam spoke, and Kes could tell, after she’d said it, Lanam didn’t know which one of them she’d said it to. Maybe both.
”I could show you.” Kes said, just thinking of it, Anara agreeing even as the thought had occurred.
”…I want to.” Lanam said in a small, shy voice. ”I want to see.” She said, and Kes could tell her daughter meant that in more than just a temporary way. Lanam wanted to see like the rest of them could. She wanted it because she didn’t want to be different, and because she wanted to be able to help with things more, and… also because, no matter what any of them had said, a part of her in the back of her mind thought her family’s hardships still might have been her fault and that if she could see, then she’d be able to stop more dangers from threatening them.
Internally Kes sighed, wishing she could say the right thing to take away that sense of misplaced guilt her daughter still had, but she didn’t know what words would be enough. If she could do this for her though, then, she thought, maybe it would help anyway. She knew she didn’t really know what it was, after all, not to be able to see. No one else besides Lanam could know what was right for her about something like this. So Kes brought her fingertips to her daughter’s temples, closed her eyes, and used her mental abilities, with Anara’s support, to let their daughter see herself though Anara’s eyes. ”That’s… That’s you.” Kes spoke softly. Anara looked up and met Kes’s eyes. ”And that’s me.”
