Duck places one foot slowly after another, dragging her toes, as she slumps her way into the bar.
Pique won't talk to her; Fakir is expelled; Mytho is -- Mytho is she doesn't even know what, and she doesn't have any idea what's going on.
Sitting at a table in Milliways might not actually help with any of that, but it's better than listening to Lilie go on and on about how she and Pique are going to have a battle --
-- not that she's annoyed with Lilie! She's happy Lilie is having fun! Lilie is her only friend right now who isn't sad or upset, and that counts for something, right?
(Okay maybe she's a little tiny bit annoyed with Lilie. But she doesn't know what to do with that feeling, so Milliways it is!)

But the more he sees of her eyes, the more he has to confirm it at least to himself.
"You....you aren't Elsa."

Duck shakes her head so hastily that her braid turns into an orange blur rotating her head.
"I'm, um, I guess Princess Tutu is just a minor character, so . . ."
YOU'VE PROBABLY NEVER HEARD OF HER.
". . . but it's not like I was born to be her or anything either, not like Fakir! I just kinda -- wandered in, I guess."
She still can't really bring herself to say the duck part.

"Oh."

Something's weird . . .

He also has to remind himself that, just as he and Fakir are not the same person, Duck and Tutu are not the same person.
His features soften just marginally as he says, "It's none of your concern."

Duck fidgets on her seat.
"I mean, the thing is, I don't really know all that much about who she was, so . . ."
Just that she's better at everything than Duck is, which is useful. And that she vanishes into a speck of light if she confesses her love to the prince -- which is not so useful, but Duck has pretty much already been there and confronted that, so it's not so much of a concern.
