"Thank you," Selene said simply with a nod of her head. She would be checking in that he had in fact accomplished the task given to him. While she wasn't giving a strict punishment she did expect that it be accomplished, to the letter. She wasn't about to give room for wiggling.
He wasn't the first individual to not listen to her words the first time around. Selene couldn't claim to have all the answers or to even have the right answers when she did have them. What she did have was years of experience trying to understand the minds of others and with that she had collected a few bits of useful advice here and there. But she couldn't force them on anyone. As frustrating as it was to watch someone ignore, all she could do was offer the words again when the individual was willing to listen.
"Yes you may." Selene said as she pushed back slightly in her chair and drew the belt around her waist tighter. "And please Starbuck, at least try to think about what I've said." And of course to follow the punishment as she'd handed down. She would have guards on alert to the limitations she'd put on him. Not that they were any more than any other student had. It was now just up to him to follow the rules as they were established. She hoped that he could.
