[Honestly the idea of bothering Tristan long-term is more stressful than just being told no. But he doesn't argue, he just settled back against Jupiter and worries.]

It's fine. Let's just talk about something else right now.

You guys still haven't touched your cocoa.

Oh... That's right.

[He detaches himself from the both of them, going to get his mug. When he has it he sits down by the law table, keeping to himself for now.]

Thank you for making it.

[Tris sighs and gets up, going to fetch his own cocoa too, ruffling Jupiter's hair on the way.]

It smells good.

Of course it does. I made it.

That's very confident of you.

[He takes a sip, just watching them both fondly. They're his and they're safe and they're here and maybe he's frustrated with not being able to push his political agenda because of the storm, and maybe he's scared of Ariel's dreams (his memories) and maybe he is apprehensive about giving Ariel more to do--but just at this moment he's also very happy. It's nice.]

Confidence is good if it's warranted isn't it?
