Aris Noble
I like Aris as a character, and I think you've taken the previous recommendations from your last feedback and applied them to Aris to help him get a little bit more fleshed out as a character in the emotions department as he continues meeting new people and is faced with new interactions. He is less Spock Lite and now starting to really flesh out more as a reserved teenager but who is clearly still going through his own internal angst and trying to figure out not only his place in things, but how to interact with others.
I've really enjoyed writing with Aris as Zaiya. Their IC interaction allows Aris to learn and recognize his own emotions and what he may be feeling and it has also allowed me to really flesh out Zaiya and how the Force works with her through emotional empathy, forming bonds, and a methodology of allowing the species to grow being the biological /hormonal limitations typically for her kind, allowing some neat social bonds that allow her to mimic the familial ones she lost and craves.
You've improved the method of conveying more personality to him by describing his expressions and internal musings and painting out gestures that can give him a bit more life, so props on that.
Areas of opportunity run along the same vein as what Valery recommended: While Aris is great in the aspect of Control, considering what are some limitations to him that he can work upon as he grows in his skills would be a good way to show how he's improving. Even Mr. Incredible - granted as a dad and older - suffered from exhaustion, stress, and the like that affected his body and how he was able to do what he could. He did his best to do what he could and utilized his abilities to try and push his limits, but eventually, something has to give.
Maybe since Aris has been focused on maintaining control all this time, he hasn't been able to really push his limits and feel himself get exhausted, tired, worn out, or anything. Might be time to start. Only through knowing one's limitations can one grow and get better - Side note, this is literally my intent of Zaiya asking Aris to try and see what those limitations are in my next post lol.
Other than that, keep on trucking with teenage angst and such since it makes for great reading!
