"That was an exciting morning," she says dryly, "And hopefully the most exciting today will be. The Committee on the Family was approved, so we may be lower on members going forward. Anyone have proposals before we jump back into debating the extremely pleasant topics of what to consider torture and under what circumstances we might permit making undead?"

She looks incredibly skeptical of the idea that Calistrians would generally end up Abyss-bound under the described circumstances but that's about the sort of take she'd expect from a noblewoman who thinks it was morally wrong for Pezzack to rebel and keeps trying to act like it's bad for bad things to happen to bad people.
"I definitely agree with not forcing anyone to be Final Bladed, if that wasn't obvious."

"Declaring a right isn't a promise we'll get it for you, Delegate Porras. I don't think any government in history can promise that, for most of these things. It's a promise that we'll try, and that if you don't get it, we'll do something about it."

"...well, if someone ends up trapped in a Final Blade against their will, the only thing we can do about it is punish the person responsible, you can't resurrect someone from one of them." She's pretty sure. She read a bunch of Galt-related pamphlets after yesterday and they seemed to mostly agree on that, though not on whether the soul was stuck or destroyed or something else. "So if we're allowing them at all, we should make forcing the Final Blade on someone against their will a capital crime, even — or especially, really — if it's a nobleman who's responsible."

"Yes, they were always meant to hold souls for the future, not annihilate them like a daemon. It's impossible to get souls out, they say, but I think it's the kind of impossible that archmages learn to do easily if they have the time to research it."
"I think we should have the vote. On the right to have execution conducted by Final Blade by request of the convict, when one is available or when the convict can be held and conveyed to one, safely for those around him? I vote aye."

"Aye." It seems like the sort of rule that will be flagrantly broken sometimes and rarely be caught, but probably better having it than not.

"Five to one, one abstention. Passes. This has taken a while-" which is bad news for the topics she expected to be contentious "-so I think I'll call the session here. See you all tomorrow."
