The two were nearly-equal partners in crime, as far as I know. Thiane surrendered more nicely, to be sure, and was not in a primary position of responsibility.

The details of the indenture are up to Saza --- though I am sure zie will consult with me --- and it need not be lifetime, nor does it need to be the same for the two of them. For that matter, the loss of the external ears need to be lifetime either.

I don't see how they could be equal partners given that Thiane had neither the oppurtunity nor the knowledge to participate much with the actual embezzling part versus just the escape.

Lady MacBeth didn't actually stab the king herself, but nonetheless she had a high degree of involvement in the murder. If you are encouraging your partner to embezzle, and spending the money that you know she got by embezzling, and helping her plan how to get away with embezzling her employer's entire fortune .... I'd say the fact that you weren't actually the one signing the account transfers to move the money does not mean you weren't a full participant in the crime.

Very much this. Conspirators to a crime don't get to claim innocence just because they weren't the ones physically committing it.
