[ Raised by Taoist monks one learned quite a bit. Then again, one learned quite a bit when roaming the world and avoiding Emperial duties, wanting the carefree life of the common people. Being Emperor had been something that he had left to others. So, the wilderness around them wasn't as unfamiliar to him as it was to Lan Wangji.

Unfortunately, most of the forest still held frost and could not be salvaged. That did not mean there were not some berries that couldn't be. Berries could make food and could be made into good dye for clothing and other things as well. ]

[ Those footsteps were far too heavy for anyone that he knew. He isn't sure if Lan Wangji knew anyone with footsteps that heavy either.

At the question, however, he shakes his head. ]

No. I didn't ask for any reinforcements.

[ Not when he knew that himself and Lan Wangji would be just fine on their own. ]
