As Peeta follows Daine, he's aware of the flock following them both. It's a strange feeling, being aware of animals following you, and despite knowing that they're friends of Daine's, he can't help but feel a thrill of unease when he looks up to find the trees full of birds.

It's a fleeting sensation, though, quickly replaced by a sense of wonder. The effect of feathers shining amidst the branches is beautiful. He wants to stop and sketch them, but he knows Daine has other charges to check on, and he doubts the crows would hang around long enough for him to draw the scene anyway. He'll have to draw it from memory, which won't be difficult - it's a vivid image.

Peeta stops where Daine indicates and begins tossing breadcrumbs around the area. He tears the hunk of bread in half and hands part of it to Daine, so that she can help.
