"That's true," Peeta agrees. If anything, the architecture reminds him mostly of District 12, though he isn't about to say as much. Like the Capitol and Manhattan, Tortall is just different enough from the District to make the similarities stand out.

He senses Daine's hesitation before they even reach the door. The combination of nerves and anticipation she is giving off is overwhelming. Thanks to Kitten, however, neither of them have much time to prepare before the door is opened (Peeta gives Kitten an assessing look when he hears the door unlock and finds no one behind it). He hangs back a little - not enough to look like he's trying to avoid the room and the person in it, but enough to give Daine her space.

From where he is in the hallway, he has a clear view into the room. As such, he can see the shift in Numair's expression when he catches sight of Daine's face. Peeta can't see it, but he guess what she looks like, a guess that is borne out in the way she all but launches herself at Numair. Peeta doesn't miss the look Numair throws his way, either, and is therefore prepared for the question that follows it.

"No, not me," he replies, giving the man a gentle smile. "It has to do with you."
