A pair of wagons at least. You have never been settled anywhere long enough to receive the gifts, the Circle might not allow you the gifts, the road that led to you was dangerous and the gifts might be stolen, you outright refused the gifts-- [A litany of reasons delivered in the tones of complaints. These are all things that have been said of Kostos when their mother was showing Nikos the room kept stacked with back-burnered presents for him.] --or perhaps fear of refusal preempted the effort. I am never sure of which. And thinking about it now, they may require three carts. There are so many.
