#Franklin possibly forgoing formality with a person and in a situation where he actually should by all rights be maintaining it?

Right, back to my usual schedule of rewatching and thinking way too much about random shit.
Do you think it means anything, the slightly differing levels of formality with which Franklin and Crozier refer to each other in their first scenes?
-
I feel like Crozier is the more distant and formal of the two, even if only slightly:
"Tell Mr. Diggle Sir John and Commander Fitzjames are coming aboard to dine tonight."
Whereas Franklin is more casual in his use of first names:
"Let Francis know James and I will be joining him for dinner."
-
Could mean nothing I suppose. Just something I noticed just now.
