Jade crossed his arms in thought. Levy's suggestion had given him a pause. Although his instincts told him to be done with Palitutu for good, Rukia was correct -- getting impatient would do them no good. Now that he looked back, he had almost gotten unproductively hot-headed earlier.
Putting aside his personal feelings for the moment, thinking about it rationally...
"It may be possible," he conceded. "There are rare individuals who can equip two Jobs, like our old friends the imperial spies. I can't say whether Palitutu can, but if she can't, then you're right -- she'd be stuck as a Black Mage."
If she did have two Jobs equipped, she probably wouldn't have needed to switch them mid-battle, come to think of it. Still, if there was even a small chance she could, they had to consider the precautions.
"We don't know what kind of a Job her abilities are tied to. It could be a special one like the Onion Knight that's always partially active. However..." He rubbed his chin. "Even if I were to stabilize her, she won't be recovering any time soon. If I could enlist help from the lab and pinpoint what Jobs she currently has active while she's still out of commission, we could assess the risk of her escaping and make a decision based on that."
Nothing in Jade's tone gave away whether he considered this the right choice or not. Right now, he was there to give facts and nothing more.
"...Of course, this all depends on Cid and the others agreeing. If they decide Palitutu is too dangerous to keep alive, as the heads of the country they have the right to make the final call."
