Thanatos holds a hand out to catch a falling snowflake and watches it melt on his palm. The vacation is not only to use up his excess of vacation time but also to breathe in the fresh air away from the city. To exist in some place quiet and still.

That gentle observance of the melting snowflake is interrupted by Zagreus leading him to the cabin door. Thanatos brings in his suitcase and bag of groceries. "I doubt they'd let someone without experience or training cut down a tree as part of booking a cabin. They'd have to monitor the growth of trees on the land against felling them, and replenishing them depends on the season and time of year."

Feel free to stop him. He starting to sound too much like the stats and figures he has to pay attention to during work. (The short of it is that Thanatos thinks they do provide firewood.)
