"Harsh? Well, I have a high respect for life." Jamie's people apparently viewed their harsh punishments as being born out of a wish to respect life. They probably were; his people were just known for taking things to quite an extreme, which would probably explain some of that. Looking over toward her as though he were considering things, he sighed, "People should be able to control themselves in the heat of the fight but perhaps we can compromise and ensure as few people die as possible. Does that sound fair to you?" Jamie frowned a bit, wondering if they were going to be able to cooperate or not.
