"Only if it won't have a negative effect on the trade deal with the Union," Gladio replied, matching Ignis's language, and managing not to roll his eyes.

His father had mentioned that, the agreement between Lucis and the Jyllandi Union. He wasn't entirely against the import of the Tagging law, but that was Clarus for you. He was a bit stuffy, if a good man overall, but he had Views. He'd told him once that Mist Mutations were seen, historically, as gifts from the Goddess, but that now... after all that had happened, they were less a gift and more an unwanted present it was impossible to return. Occasionally, he'd expressed the sentiment that he felt sorry for Tags, but as a member of the Lucian Council, however, he did rate the prosperity of the kingdom above the comfort of the kingdom's disenfranchised minorities. Especially when those minorities had a tendency to gravitate towards crime.

Gladio hadn't pointed out that they didn't have much choice if nobody would employ them because they had funny coloured eyes or webbed hands, though.
