Starbuck shook his head, realizing his words had come out wrong. "No, I just... I can't apologize right now. I'm still mad, and I don't want to hit the guy again." If he sought out the man he'd injured right this moment, more violence would likely erupt. Starbuck needed his common sense restored first.
When Selene leaned forward with a sigh, Starbuck slumped low in the chair, thinking about what she was saying. "He was with Kat. More importantly... she was with him," he grumbled in an angry yet soft voice. "I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I don't know what more I can do to make her happy!" He glanced up at Selene and then back down at his knees. "It's not supposed to be like this. Why can't it be easy? The way Dad used to talk about meeting Mom..." he paused, feeling a painful twinge inside himself, "He made it sound easy. So, I must be doing something wrong." He loved Kat, but perhaps not correctly? Was there such a thing?
"Fair?" he asked, not understanding what she meant. He knew he deserved to be punished, and he'd even thought that maybe espulsion was the proper form of punishment. Anger management counseling was beyond fair, he just didn't know what was involved, and wasn't sure if it would actually work. Did Selene have some plan in mind to keep him from getting jealous again? He'd be happy to give it a try! "I'll do whatever you see fit. Not sure these victims you're talking about will want to talk to me though." He'd do if if that's what she assigned to him. He'd been thinking more along the lines of manual labor. He'd been forced to do beach clean-up the last time, something he would have likely done even if it wasn't required of him.
