James + giving orders
- Tagged
- black sails
- but aboard James' ship they're Mr. Last Name
- but it also implies that he's giving them a certain amount of respect
- I love how he keeps up referring to his crew as Mr. Whomever
- in England those men would likely be referred to by nobles or even middle class people as just their last name
- it's a habit from his Navy days
- it's a measure of dignity that's very much in keeping with what he's trying to achieve for Nassau and everyone living there
- it's important
- the same level of respect that would be afforded to officers aboard a Navy ship

30, She/her. Used to be DreamingPagan a long time back. Multi-fandom, mostly Black Sails these days but with a lot of Tolkien and funny things interspersed. Complete language and history nerd - be warned. I write fic and occasionally I talk about ships. View all posts by flintsredhair
