John cannot help the way the offer makes him smile. There might be other men who think themselves better than that, but -- in truth even the thought of traveling in such a way makes John a little unsteady. Having the comfort of the other man's presence, and the knowledge that he is just there with him, it would make things better.

After a moment's consideration, he nods.

"I -- would be most grateful for it," he says, tilting his head to the side somewhat sheepishly before reaching to take Urianger's offered hand. "I have traveled a few times before, but traveling together will definitely be more reassuring than not. This way, I can be certain you will be there with me on the other side of that portal as well."

At least, he hopes that is how this works. As he has said, he is not certain of this whole portal business.
