Peeta spots the figure in the water long before he gets close enough to make out who it is. He edges along just under the treeline of the jungle - but still on the beach - wary enough to seek shelter but too close to time to risk venturing inside.

When the figure begins to resemble a familiar form, Peeta's mind goes into hyperdrive trying to identify it. His first thought upon recognizing it as female is Katniss, but he quickly dismisses the idea. The girl's hair isn't dark enough, and the way she holds herself is all wrong. She doesn't register as any of the other competitors, either, which gives Peeta pause.

The nagging sense that something isn't right rises strongly in him around the same time that he realizes who the girl is. Surprised enough to forget stealth, he steps out onto the sunlit beach, machete still in hand.

"Daine?"
