Daine wags her tail in agreement. What she and Coromotto had been doing was more akin to 'fleeing' than 'exploring.' It probably all boils down to wandering through the woods in the end, but at least they can do it in a group. A group that contains an elephant, no less. Peeta's right; they're an intimidating bunch.
"We came from that way," Coromotto says, nodding his head in a direction not so different from where Peeta and Nilakshi had been coming from, "so we probably wouldn't find anything there. Should we try…" he turns until he's facing a path that runs perpendicular to the one they'd been traveling before, "this way?" Or they could just continue in the same general direction they had been going, but a deliberate change of pace feels more, well, deliberate. If they're not being chased, they can decide just where they're headed.
