[backdated/for Tegan]
It's getting better. Every day is less of a challenge. Things are becoming safe, secure, in their new terms and circumstances. The sun keeps rising.
And rises just the same as every other day on the first day that Lancelot is officially replaced.
Really, Eileen ought to have found Tegan sooner. It's simply that the act of substitution isn't easy, even if it isn't a replacement. So it takes time before she asks the older woman to come to her office, for the first time not as Eileen asking Tegan, but as the Ace of Clubs requesting her Jack.

It goes without saying that Eileen won't be the only one having to adjust. Tegan will learn, and intends to do so as quickly as she is able, but for the moment they will both have to be patient with one another.
"It will be all right, you know. In the end."

Was, frankly, feeling fairly functional now, for all that her stomach felt slightly tense and her mind was working overtime to remind itself that this was the new 'way things are.'
"You'd not have been picked if you weren't suited to be precisely here, Tegan." It's a step, really, realizing she's dropped the honourific again. Comforting, really. "And we've all the wish to see you succeed."
