She was right, of course. Desna was young and needed more training before she could be of any use, and that wouldn't serve as an immediate replacement for Ukko. Tavi had been the gamma back at home, she knew what to expect from her current position.

Saena's admitted belief in Tavi's ability was thought provoking for her.

I'll do it. she finally concluded, licking her lips as soon as she spoke; I know I can do better than Ukko, and I'll do my best to keep everything in order until Desna -- well, that made her sound wishy washy again. Tavi just... Wasn't sure what to do with that much power. At least with her current rank she wasn't expected to do that much. As Beta, she felt like everything would change. She had never wanted to be in power. Whether she makes it to the rank alongside me or not, I'll do it. A smile spread across her features, a bit forced, but Tavi was genuinely pleased with the promotion. She would adapt to everything as much as she could.
