That would be a good idea.

You propped yourself up and examined both of you. A sheen of sweat covered both of you and you knew if you just left it you would both be pretty rank in a couple hours. You briefly wondered if deodorant was a thing in this world, but judging by some of the smells you've experienced around the town you doubted it was prevalent if it existed at all.

"That would probably be a good idea" you agree. You give each other one last kiss and untangle yourselves from each other. Weaker than you expected you both make your way into the bathroom and turn on the water to get a bath going. Yvette snuggles up to hug you and you hug her back. Swaying to unheard music you bask in each other's arms as you wait for the water to fill.

Once filled you help her into the tub and then climb in yourself. You both rinse yourselves off quickly and you lean back to relax when you are finished. You watch Yvette slowly clean her hair before she eventually sits next to you. You wrap your arm around her and she cuddles up to you. You enjoy the relaxing feeling of the bath washing away the sweat and the stiffness of your muscles, and Yvette hums at your side enjoying the warm waters as well. Soon you are both getting pruned fingers and it is time to get out of the water. Yvette gets out and immediately goes to sit in front of the fire place and looks back at you as if to ask if you are going to join her. You load the fireplace with new logs and concentrate on starting a fire with your magic. You focus the magic rather than limiting the amount you release and a beam of fire ignites the logs.

Yvette lays on her side in front of the fire and you snuggle up behind her. She grabs your hand and wraps it around herself forcing your hand onto one of her breast. You idly play with her breast as you position yourself so your soft cock is against her ass. She hums at the attention, but doesn't grind against you. You are both disappointed and not disappointed as you don't really want sex at the moment. You hear Yvette sigh in contentment as she holds your hand to her breast.

"I really love you" Yvette says as she looks at the fire.

"I know, I can feel it remember" you reply.

"What do you feel from me" you ask.

"Love" Yvette replies. "Also confusion and hesitancy" she adds.

"I...I think I can explain that a bit" you say deciding to explain your situation.

"How much do you know of technology" you ask her.

"Not much" she admits "my clan didn't have much of it even when it was widely available. We didn't shun it, but like I said, we were a ways for any trader to come visit us".

"Well that might make it a bit more confusing" you sigh. "I'll start as easy as I can and leave out parts that might not really matter. I'm not from this reality, or even this world" you state pausing for her to take that in.

"You mean you are a Traveler" she asks.

"What does that term mean to you" you ask.

"In my clan's stories a Traveler came from another world long ago and united the clans of the North to fight against Melvin. It is said when he was finished he left for his own world again" she says looking into your eyes. You could see fear in her eyes, and you could feel it through your bond. It was strong.

"Are you afraid of me" you ask looking into your lap.

"No" she replies gripping your hand tightly to her "I am afraid the legends were true and that when you finish what you came for you will leave" she says. You can hear the hitch in her voice signaling she is holding back tears.

"Hence the confusion and hesitancy" you whisper.

"When I got here I just wanted to go home again. I was essentially tricked into coming here out of my own ignorance I suppose" you state. "Now, since I've found you, and even Annabel and Jane I am not so sure anymore. The desire, the goal, to return home is still strong to me, it's home and all I've ever known, but there is a bigger part that just wants to stay here with you. To make this world a better place for you, and me, and everyone" you continue.

"I'm still trying to decide on if I want to leave or not" you admit.

"Would I be able to come with you" she asks.

"I...I don't know" you answer truthfully. "Although I would not think it possible. With how magic works here there is generally a connection or you can see how to channel the magic into any given spell. I can feel my home, and it is that connection that likely will be the piece of the puzzle that allows me home. I don't think you have that connection, but then again we have this bond and it seems like maybe we could use that somehow. I just don't know" you shake your head as you both cuddled in silence.

It's the first time you'd really considered it fully. You couldn't leave her behind. The old world was your home, but what did it have to offer you? Your declining years of life alone and miserable? You knew you weren't going to find someone like this again there? Not at your age. Why did you want to go back really? There was nothing there. You could feel the confusion and hesitancy disappear as a smile broke out on your face. You didn't have a solid plan, but you knew what you wanted now.

"You aren't confused anymore" she says rolling over to face you "you've decided something then" she asks. You can hear the trepidation in her voice.
