You've got to be joking. Anyway, Ariel is the same age as me, and shouldn't you be more concerned about him socializing?

Ariel's fine as he is.

And I'm not?

You're the one complaining.

[ Huffs and kicks at the floor! ]

Forget it.

[Smiles and ruffles Jupiter's hair a little fondly.]

I don't plan on letting you away from my side anyway.

You've made that clear enough... in any case, we're literally stuck together until the storm lets up.

Now what were you saying about that being more dangerous?

Who, me? I said that? ♥

[Tris absently... Twirls his fingers in a lock of Jupiter's hair.]

You did.

Can you imagine me getting into trouble that easily?

...I can.

Says the guy who's gotten into trouble far more often than me.

[He lets his fingers slide out of Jupiter's hair.]

That's why I need you around.

[All things considered, it isn't that strange that Tris touches Jupiter's hair a lot.]

To keep you out of trouble? Or to be your partner in crime?

[No, Tris has always been oddly tactile. Just a quirk since childhood, right? It's not new.]

It's not crime when I'm the law, you know.

You're so twisted.

Are you calling God Himself warped? That's sacrilegious.

You bleed the same as me. You're no God.

No one's seen me bleed in I don't know how long. Are you even sure?

Want me to try and find out?

Now aren't you overconfident?

We'll see about that.

[He steps forward, swiftfooted but no where near as adept as he was when Tris knew him originally. Still, it's entirely play, and he's shoving Tris back slightly before leaning in to bite his cheek-- he plays dirty. Always has, ever since he used to regularly get into scuffles way back when. ]

[Tris doesn't fight back at all, not because he can't, easily he could have Jupiter in many pieces across the room or just immobilized. But he's not serious and magic is cheating when rough housing with Jupiter--]

Ah--

[He didn't expect the cheek biting though, fingers curling in Jupiter's shirt in surprise where he was reaching to shove the blond off. The problem is, it stings but that's only really a turn on.]

[ Jupiter was counting on that surprise. The bit isn't hard enough to break skin, because wounding the King is a bad idea, but he uses the chance to grabs Tristan's hand and dig his nails in, dragging them across skin enough to scratch. ]
