[Of course he obeys, but he's stiff and tense when he sits. He doesn't remember ever being afraid around Tristan before, but right now there's a definite fear making his hands shake. It shows on his face -- because this Ariel really feels the full spectrum of emotion, and never taught himself to lie and fake. So now Tristan gets to see him looking at him like something intimidating, immensely more powerful than him, who can and apparently has exercised that power on him without consent. Someone to be scared of, no matter how much faith he has in him.]
