Excuse you, Peter, she is equipping you with a weapon. This is hardly a game of fetch. A longer piece of deadfall yields two more improvised stakes when she and Coromotto snap it between them, so Daine offers one to Peter. The other, she'll hold onto, herself. She can pass it off if necessary, and she might even be able to wrangle it herself if the vampire holds still long enough.
Coromotto huffs, the vocal equivalent of a shrug. "Good," is his verdict. "If it knows we can fight, it might be less inclined to attack us." After a mental prod from Daine, he adds, "Four against one is good odds." It might be a bit generous to count Cascia, who seems to have some sort of condition, but she can still help keep an eye out, if nothing else. And in woods like these, every pair of eyes is important.
