Jeez, how old is this kid? It isn't often Cooper feels the full weight of his age, but every so often, he's reminded that he was born before electricity was even a thing. He sits back, as much to be out of sneezing range as anything else. His face doesn't show much of what he's thinking, but he does give out a low whistle.

Before Cooper decides one way or the other, he's going to have to point out the pros and the cons of trying to get such a measure that is sure to shake up the laws. "Talk about shootin' for the moon. You realize how many witches there are on the Council? And how many of those who aren't are still pro-witch?"

If Cooper decided to go for the measure, he could already tell how the others would vote. Samantha and Vrinak would never vote for the measure. Yasmine would if he got a word with her in private, for he knew how she resented the witches. Cesare was the real wildcard. He'd been nominated by witches for the election, so he might vote that way. Or he might see a way to take the witches out of power and go that way instead. But first Ghoul had to convince him why he should stick his neck out. Cooper wasn't going to get it lopped off for anything less than a good reason.
