[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's an adjustment, being Jack. Not only because the jump in rank, regardless of what they say, is still large.

Still she's there, wrapping her knuckles lightly against the door. "Miss Eileen? May I come in?"
