I Am Aware

Emersyn had stopped when Duchess called, being kind enough to let her take the break. But unfortunately, that's not how Duchess saw it. She could have been grateful, maybe she was deep down. And it wasn't hormones, it was really simply how she felt about the woman in general. "I don't need to... take a nap." She blinked her eyes, trying to make her vision clearer while her brows furrowed, probably showing an obvious offense to what she said. "I just need to sit down a minute."

Just like Emersyn would protect Duchess because it was what Indigo wanted, Duchess would do her best to stay kind, or at least civil with Emersyn. Because that's what Indigo wanted. They seemed to both have the same interest at least. Thankful for Indigo saving them or helping them. But of course Duchess didn't see herself as equal to the others. Not Emersyn, not Gypsy, not Segin, she did believe she deserved to be the most prized of Indigo's. And that included above his sister. They were going through a rough time in their relationship now, but Duchess also believed that since she was carrying his pups, it kept her secure in that make believe position. That had been her plan after all.
