A/N: Inspired by the look Telford gives Eli when he first sees the Gateroom.

Green Again

He's so green it's refreshing and you expertly stifle a laugh at the way he looks at everything, so fresh and new. But there is a pull of envy, too. It's been so long since anything has impressed you like all of this (the Hammond, the gate, all of it) impresses him and part of you wishes it was you who was new to all this. Yet, something about him, about how he looks at it all, reminds you that you don't know, can't know, what's coming next and maybe, just maybe, you'll have a chance to be green again.
