"It's nice to meet you, too," Peeta replies. He takes the nibble as an affectionate gesture, more out of Daine's lack of reaction that a real sense of Quickbeak's mood - he's only just met her after all.

The mention of food reminds him of the loaves in his bag. "Yes, actually, I do." He digs one of them out and unwraps it enough to break off a bird-sized morsel. "I thought you might need some extra," he explains to Daine.

Careful not to jostle Quickbeak, he offers her the morsel. "Here you are, you get first taste."
