Starbuck often wondered what it was like to be more 'human'... to not be tied to an element. Were their perks? He couldn't imagine the feeling of not needing water the way he did. Did it feel as though something was missing? Probably not, since they'd always been that way, just as he'd always been like this. Still, it was curious.
Of course Starbuck would keep his promise. When he said he was gonna do something, he did it, or at least gave it his all. Besides, he had been in fist fights with Kat, sparring of course, not in anger, so he clearly had no trouble treating a woman as an equal.
Cup? Uh, no. Hopefully he wouldn't return to his dorm hunched over and high-voiced. "Yeah, shifting would be bad. But, can you even do that?" She was a born were, so maybe it was within her ability. He remembered all too well his fears of being with Ada, wondering if she would shift during states of heightened emotions... specifically during sex.
Starbuck was good with his hands, it was his feet that sorta sucked. So while he caught the ball with ease, running on slick grass proved to be tricky. Still, he managed to keep from falling on his face or ass, and charged toward her, trying to predict which way she'd run so he could dart the other way. If not, he hoped he could at least plow right over her. Hey, she'd said not to go easy on her! When she was right upon him, he attempted to swerve around her left side, hoping it was the weaker of the two.
