Long Answer


1. Initially, Tristran sees Yvaine as a prize to take home to Victoria Forester as a token of his love. After their adventures, however, he comes to see Yvaine as an independent person who belongs only to herself. (Chapter 9)

2. Tristran has practical reasons for wanting to live out his life in Faerie, including his relationship with Yvaine—who cannot exist in Wall—and his newfound relationship with his mother. Moreover, he feels he has outgrown the person he once was and craves the adventures and possibilities that a life in the other world presents. (Chapter 10, Epilogue)
