Once Katniss backs off - stumbling, putting Daine in mind of Jay and Tim's reaction to a similar shift - Daine steps back as well, letting her arm lapse back into its usual shape. Then she steps back to the bed, because the room isn't so large that she couldn't be across it in a moment if Katniss went after Peeta again.

She frowns tightly when Peeta's attempts to fix things another way fail to work. As if things aren't bad enough already - what happens when Katniss gets thirsty? She can't live long without a mouth.

"Maybe there's someone else who could help?" she ventures, glancing between the two of them. One of the angels? The Doctor? She doesn't exactly relish the thought of bringing more parties into this mess, but her magic is useless, here, and the rift doesn't seem inclined to help out, either. "There are lots of clever, powerful folk here."
