We Both Matter

Location: The Starlit Plains

Cosette's absence had been a little worrisome to Duchess, but over time she had put to rest that maybe Cosette needed her time alone. When she came back, Duchess was at least relieved that she was okay but things hadn't really settled between them. Indigo had gained numbers, a lot had happened between Duchess and Indigo in that time. So she could understand a little now why Cosette may not have been comfortable around the group of them.

Duchess didn't want her to feel that way though. She may have had her own personal fears, resentments she buried under her. But she did want them all to feel whole with each other. All of Indigo's misfits she wanted to feel like a family. They were all welcome in the arms of each other, she was sure the rest of the band could agree.

As the evening became later, she moved out into the plains in search of Cosette. She was starting to feel on edge about her time alone and she didn't want her to feel outcasted or pressured, but she figured it was time to consult with her. She moved along the river at first, until she caught her scent and started to follow it.
