“I’m just ducking out” is a natural informal way to say you are leaving briefly and expect to come back soon. For example: “I’m just ducking out for a coffee.” Oxford lists duck out as an informal expression meaning to leave quickly. Do not confuse it with duck out of something, which often means avoiding an obligation.
