The worlds are aware of each other. The fairyworld is aware of the "real" world. The real world is very much aware of the secondary world. It is clear that people don't cross the wall into the secondary world. Once Tristran crosses over into fairyworld you see something different in him. Yes, he is still a young, immature boy but he learns/grows into a man. Tristran belongs in fairyworld.
We see Tristran belonging in fairyworld by the way his sense of direction changes. Something switches in Tristran and his fairy side comes out. So, what does this mean about belonging? Harry thought that he belonged in the Muggle world, but he did not. He was told on his eleventh birthday that he belonged to the wizarding world.... whether he wanted to or not. The Pevensies belonged in London, not Narnia yet they grew there and had great rule over Narnia. The belonging to a place is just a territorial way of saying you have a destiny.
Harry's destiny was to kill Voldermort. The Pevensies' destiny was to save Narnia, multiple times. Tristran's destiny was to rule the fairyworld. Because his mother was a princess he had royal blood in him. He was the one that was worth to restore the ruby and claim the throne. Yet he denies it. So, you could look at Tristran and say that he was being a humble man. But I look at Tristran and see him as denying his destiny. He didn't want to belong and live in the fairyworld. He wanted to live as a normal man with a woman/star that would never age. Then, he could die a happy man without the struggles, stress, and responsibility of ruling fairyworld.
