For the moment, Peeta isn't at all worried about how Cloud feels about him. He's too busy trying to wrap his mind around what has happened. "That doesn't make any sense," he tells Daine. "I wasn't with you before I wound up here. Why would the rift have taken me, too?" Aside from just being contrary, which he wouldn't put past the rift.

He doesn't remember coming to Tortall, but that doesn't mean much. All he did was close his eyes in Panem and open them in New York, so going from New York to somewhere else just as fast makes sense. And he might not remember exactly where he was or what he was doing before finding himself in Tortall, but he knows he wasn't with Daine. He would remember that.

When Daine lays her hand on his shoulder, Peeta feels the momentary urge to shrug it off. He wants answers, not assurances, and her enthusiasm - while understandable - frustrates him. She is so focused on being back in Tortall, on settling them both in, that she's missing the point that he shouldn't be here at all. At least in New York he had the possibility of going home; what if that doesn't exist here?

He turns to Daine, everything he is feeling showing in his eyes. "Why am I here?"
