[In recent weeks, Rue's barely spoken to Duck - really, to anyone who isn't Mytho - keeping to herself and her losses instead. It's so easy to find sadness and despair and nest in them.
When Duck went missing, though, it became a new story, and Rue made a quiet habit of poking around her usual haunts every day or so, just in case. Of course when she comes back she doesn't appear in any of those places. Rue finds her much later, nearer to evening...probably on accident, as she makes her way home from practicing in the barracks.]
