.006 - Private to the Marquis
Let's just be honest. I haven't read your file. I don't care if you've got an attachment to any previous warden. If you aren't a drinking man or a fighting man, then we probably have nothing in common. And I have no qualms about shooting you if you piss me off.
Any questions?

[He means this quite literally. Without parchment, he has over time had to look for blank surfaces elsewhere in the room when the compulsion has taken him...and it has, without a doubt. There isn't a white space, whether it's a sheet, curtain, or the blank parts of a painting, that haven't been scribbled over in writing.]
When I must, I find a way.

[Because no man should be forced to write all over his walls and sheets and things. James doesn't see any harm in letting the old man have his fun and write his stories.
Then he remembers that the Marquis is from his past.]
"You too old to learn new tricks? Or do I gotta go find you some paper instead?"
[Action]
[He chooses not to take offense to that.]
I would prefer parchment, quills and ink. It is the process just as much as the writing itself, you see.

[Jim frowns, looking less than thrilled about the idea of searching this ship for primitive means of writing. He wouldn't even know where to start looking for something like that back home.]

[Which is Jim Kirk speak for 'I'll do it if I'm bored later and don't forget about it'. Which is probably the best that the Marquis can hope to get out of his new warden.]
