Jack's basic philosophy was that the words 'I'm sorry' were cheap, almost to the point of being insulting. He would apologize to someone for their sake, but he tried to be more specific than a simple apology.
He watched Klaus's back, but the lack of eye-contact was easier for him right now, too. Not that he knew the first thing about how to do this, or what was right. In fact, he was actually choking now that he was here, though, on the edge of reverting to a basic apology that said nothing that meant anything.
Which actually bode really badly for the effectiveness of this conversation, but he was going to try anyway. "I know it was arrogant as hell, but I didn't want you to feel like I didn't like you because I was backing down from the flirting and innuendo. Or even that I wasn't willing to follow through. I implied a lot of things about you both, that I wasn't smart enough to realize I was implying."
