[There's no immediate reply to the match comment since he's sure D knows the answer, but the 'declared dead' thing gets an audible scoff from Mikael.]
If they have, they'll be faced with their poor faith! I wouldn't die so easily.
[Despite literally just saying he should have. Details.] We should search the few trees along the way. What we need is wood that isn't too wet from the snow.
[Wow, enthusiasm- that takes him by surprise, a little bit. He'll reserve comment on that, since he's sure the instructors don't really care about "poor faith"...]
And somewhere to put it... Would you prefer gathering sticks or finding a drier place?
Father used to take me camping quite often, when I was a child. [The absolutely saccharine way he says it points out what a load of nonsense it is. Camping with pops... no. But still:]
Under ordinary circumstances, I would outlive you.
[So, yeah. Non-ordinary circumstances include Mikael stabbing him for being annoying, honestly. Now let him go peer at a tree of his own...]
[Just to be clear. But as grumpy as he sounds, those words aren't aggressive... He steps into some of the piles of snow around his tree, kicking when it seems to give more than the rest in search of wood. Strange methods and patterns aside, he probably manages to gather a few sticks or branches here and there...
All the way up to the cliffside.]
Too bad we can't get up there as easily as before.
[He wasn't doubting anyone's skills, please... Twig-gathering puts that topic to rest, mercifully, until they reach the foot of the cliff. It's even bleaker up close, how lovely. D looks up, frowning, then off to the side.]
Do you have any guess how far it is to get around? [He doesn't have enough snacks for this...]
A day or two? In this world's time. That's just a guess.
[A really, really rough guess, considering how much they've been able to travel by jeep or with the help of super powered individuals. Moving against the side of the cliff, he finds a nice area that angles inwards and offers a bit of shelter and drops the sticks in a pile there, eyeing them for a good minute.
It's a moment of deep thought before he finally crouches and pulls out a blade and gets on starting the fire. NOT REALLY SURE HOW THIS WORKS SO JUST IMAGINE HIM STRUGGLING WITH IT HERE...]
[D hums, noncommittal and clearly not very pleased with the prospect of hiking in the snow for a few Ajna days. At least in Sector Z they'd had supplies and fire users, and not - whatever Mikael's trying to do with the sticks.
Helpful as always, D does not offer a hand, but instead nudges some little stones away from a spot on the ground and takes a seat. He'll wait, leaning his chin on his hand and looking out and away from their chosen spot.]
Away from here. [sigh...] Such a shame; perhaps we could have gotten a ride, if I'd had a moment with it away from all the— excitement.

[Difficulty level is another discussion, but. He's heading towards a tree along the way right now, eyeing other ones scattered about.]
Do you know anything about survival, at least?

That thing's awake now. I wonder where it went.
