He lived fairly close to the school so if he absolutely needed to go indoors he wasn't far. The hurricane that slammed New York City last year forced him to seek a stronger shelter as did the last tornado. "Thanks to you I won't starve. There's really one reason I live out here. I enjoy the open air, it reminds me of where I grew up. Looking up at a ceiling feels kinda stifling when I know the sky is just beyond it." James grinned and pulled out another container that had some jerky in it that was already ready and offered some. "Hopefully this'll work for now."
