Gifts are...interesting. I learned that they all had meanings on their own.
It was especially easy to tell how close we were through gifts. Those who knew me personally sent items that were catered to my liking or my needs--like the chest full of rare ingredients rich in mana from Gluttony. All of them were the ingredients for the food that I liked during my stay there, so it could only come from people who dined with me there.
No, it wasn't for Sada, surprisingly, but one of her children who drank my diluted blood--so...Eruha's nephew?
I also got a treasure chest full of rare books that had been carefully preserved. Imagined my surprise when I read that it came from the Di family patriarch--you know...the Elder who used to hate me? The grandpa of one of Natha's vessels?
