This time, once he and the dogs are settled, Peeta finds himself drawn to Daine.
His encounter with Quickbeak and the crows had commanded his attention, but getting the initial sketches of them down had helped to ease that need. Now, watching Daine with the squirrel, he's reminded of the first time he watched her heal, back in the dream that he is definitely not thinking about any more.
He sighs softly, rubbing a hand down Molly's back when she drops her head on his knee.
As Daine works, he begins sketching, focusing first on the curve of her hands, the sleekness of the squirrel's fur in the sunlight. It takes him a little while to capture the expression on her face - eyes closed, somehow both inwardly and outwardly focused. Then he works on her hair, the light and shadow of the curls and the way they frame her face.
