Normally, the threat of not having Watanuki cook for him would have caused Domeki to cave but he had been threatened with this too many times for him to take it entirely seriously. As it was, he lifted one shoulder in a slightly disinterested shrug. "If you cooked well, then it shouldn't be a problem to come up with a way to make more than just plain deer meat."
"If no one could predict that we'd have feet of snow today, then no one can predict what sort of weather we might have for tomorrow," he pointed out reasonably. Obviously, he really didn't hold Watanuki responsible for not predicting the sudden snowstorm, but he really couldn't resist the temptation to cause the other boy to overreact. "By tomorrow, it could sunny and warm enough to cause the snow to melt, right?"
Domeki struggled a few steps further in the snow before coming to an abrupt halt. Much like his friend, he was having a bit of difficulty walking through the accumulated snow and he was no longer so sure that either of them could walk too much further without getting entirely lost. "Here. Hold onto my sleeve so that we don't get separated," he offered as he held out his arm toward Watanuki. As he did this, he used his other hand to root his journal from his pocket and then scribbled a quick note.
