Fitz has finished his tea. Luckily, he always travels prepared. You never know when this sort of situation can come up. He pulls out his flask from his pocket, taking a drink. It's one of the politer ways he could respond to that, anyway. And like many situations, despite a brief attempt, he doesn't see any benefit in trying to last it out sober. "Yeah, sure. I love having help. It's my favorite thing."
Shen Wei makes himself breathe slowly, refusing to give in to impatience or frustration. He's not the prisoner here, his presence is a choice, and being short with Fitz Kreiner will not accomplish anything... though he wonders if being patient will either.
"How fortunate, then, that I am so eager to help you." He doesn't even sound sarcastic, though it's a trial.
Fitz would, perhaps too cheerfully, claim that his travels with the Doctor have allowed him to raise his natural talent for being extremely irritating to a whole new level. And he'd already been pretty good at it.
"Extremely." He imbues his tone with deep levels of sarcasm. "It's not how I'd chose to spend my afterlife, but I've picked up little hints that suggest we might have some differences."
Shen Wei doesn't let himself sigh, though he's tempted, and instead refills Fitz Kreiner's teacup, in case he'd like to refrain from consuming alcohol in favor of a more pleasant beverage.
"You said you're not indifferent to the contents of the file. Shall I ask the Admiral to provide a second copy for you to review at your leisure?"
“Sure, I’ll be able to go back over all my greatest hits. Or at least some of the mediocre hits, if the Admiral chooses to focus on boring shit. It’ll be a party.”
He doesn’t know if he wants his ‘file’. Actually, he’s almost certain he doesn’t. But facts have never gotten in the way of flippancy. He looks at the teacup, and takes another pull from his flask.
Well, it was worth a try. He takes another sip of his own tea, still warm through a subtle and almost absent application of his power. "I shall request a copy from the Admiral on your behalf." Because let no one say he isn't completely immune to sarcasm... when he wants to be.
"And we can meet again once I've had the opportunity to make a thorough study of your file." Because no matter what Fitz Kreiner thinks, it is his job and his duty to help him in whatever way he can, whether said help is welcome or not.
Shen Wei rises as well, resisting the urge to roll his eyes or sigh in exasperation.
"Thank you for your time, and please feel free to contact me if you are in need of anything a warden can provide you." It feels almost strange to realize he's been assigned an inmate with no powers whatsoever, so that, at least, is not a concern.
Fitz refrains from a sarcastic response, which would be an act of great willpower if he wasn't more interested in leaving. He settles for a sarcastic salute in the doorway instead. He can't think of anything he might need from Shen Wei, and that's exactly how he likes it.
