[He hadn't expected an exact figure, but the ambivalence of the statement said enough. Slade couldn't be sure what motivated Bourne, what kind of deal he'd made with the Admiral to earn a place as a warden here, or what exactly had qualified him for the position (if anything) in the first place, but he didn't have the demeanor of a man who enjoyed what he did. Granted, Slade didn't exactly savor the sight of bloodshed himself -- it was the hunt that appealed to him, not the act of killing itself -- but he still took some measure of satisfaction in the work that he did. With Bourne, he doubted that was the case.]
You think you're qualified.
[It was a statement more than a question, with a certain measure of skepticism to his tone -- not necessarily blowing him off, but he wasn't welcoming this with open arms, either. He'd never liked having someone over him, dictating rules and actions, and that wasn't about to change. If Jason expected to make any kind of progress at all, he'd have to make things more equivalent.]
