Ask him about it
He perks up a bit. "Oh yeah, some nice folk have been giving 'em away here every year for… well since the drones drove my dad's farm out of business and I moved here. But this year, they didn't come."
He huddles closer under his tree. "And I was like 'dammit, where am I gonna sleep when it snows?' But I heard somebody down at the Docks was holding things up."
