Summary: Elizabeth and Teyla commiserate over how hard it is to be leaders

“It is not that I do not love my people, but sometimes…” Teyla ended her sentence with a sigh.

Elizabeth smiled sympathetically. “I know what you mean. You do your best for them, but they don’t always appreciate it.”

Teyla nodded. “Your people do not have a great history of female leaders. Is it harder because you are a woman?”

Elizabeth considered it. “It shouldn’t.” This was the 21st century. “But I’m not sure.”

“I believe many of those in Atlantis do not care,” Teyla assured her.

“Thank you, Teyla.” Even this short chat had made Elizabeth feel better already.
