In the end though, do what makes sense for the sake of story. Â Bamfing across the water taking two months (we suppose) is well and good but unless it matters for story, just hand wave it.
Does it really matter that you're here instead of there? Â If no? Â Who cares?
If you the actions of one setting will impact another, then you've got a bit of a catch-22.
I tend to play in real, time. Â If a scene doesn't finish by the end of a night, we tend to either summarize or actually break up the scene to multiple days. Â If Erah'sae can't be at a social event because he's off doing whatever, he can't be there. Â This gives your personal story some gravity to other people. Â When a friend who misses, lets say, your presence at the Grindstone for two weeks, it gives them a hook to get involved. Â Failing that, at least something to talk about. Â The reverse of time bubbling things is also a bit of a trap. Â You can't really say next Grindstone "I spent two months training in seclusion." or some such if you were there last week.
Again though, it really depends on your goal as a personal storyteller.  Do you want to focus on your story, social enjoyment, or creating a person within a living breathing world?  There's no better or worse in the choices.   Just something you have to decide for  yourself.
