(((((OOC: Okay, finally finished the post, Reiji. *whew* Sorry for the delay... ^^; )))) It was relief that Maven Sanders-Kuramoto felt when she rolled off the airplane's ramp and breathed in the fresh air. The wedding ornament, which was given to her as an engagment present from her newlywed husband, and which now adorned her hood sparkled in the Irish sunshine. Although most other newlyweds went to Hawaii or the Phillipines for their honey, she and EJ had settled on Ireland for theirs. It was a very pretty and unusual place to have a honeymoon, but she liked it. Her mother, Ebony, had researched the country for them when she and EJ were unsure of where to go after the wedding, getting them information, finding a hotel for them to stay at, and printing out a list of activities that they could do once there. There was also a lot of cultural history that Maven wanted to check it out. The violet Viper sighed and turned to wait for her new husband to come down the ramp to join her.

At first, marriage had been a scary thought for Edward Kuramoto II- it had taken him weeks to gather the nerve to ask Maven Sanders if she wanted to be his wife, and even then he felt like his entire undercarriage was going to drop from his frame and onto the ground. He didn't really have a good example to follow for being a husband- his own father had died several months before he was born, and his mother had never remarried.
Granted, he wasn't as nervous now- once he had taken a deep breath and took the plunge, it really wasn't as bad as he had thought. He hadn't gone and embarrassed himself in front of his new in-laws, nor had he humiliated his wife with his occasional awkward moments. So far so good.
Coasting down the ramp, the Toyota/Pontiac hybrid pulled up beside his wife and smiled. He was genuinely excited- it was the first vacation he and his new wife would take together, and he had never left the United States until now.

Maven turned as EJ came up beside her and smiled. "Beautiful place, isn't it?"

"Yeah; can't wait until until we get started on the tour- the old Ruins up north sound pretty interesting."
(I have an aunt and uncle that went to Ireland, and I vaguely remember some details from their video. >.o You'll have to put up with that.)

Maven nodded, "Sounds fun. I'd love to see that. But, how about we find and check into our hotel first?"
(((((OOC: Fine with me.)))))

With a nod, he pulled around and hooked himself up to the carriage to pull their luggage behind him- he knew of Maven's frequent illnesses, and he promised her, her family, and himself that he would take good care of her. Besides, he was the son of two Piston Cup racers- he had enough horsepower to take care of most loads.
He could only hope his mother's notoriety wouldn't interfere with their vacation.

Maven shifted into gear and fell in beside EJ. Her ill health would not allow her to haul heavy loads, so she was content to rely on EJ to handle their luggage. They drove down a few streets until they found their hotel, which was a modest affair, but otherwise was recommended by her mother as a nice place to stay during their vacation.

EJ checked his onboard map to make sure. "Looks like this is the place." Turning his gaze to Maven, he smiled again and gestured towards the open door with a tire. "Ladies first!"

"Why thank you," Maven smiled pleasantly to EJ as she drove through the doors of the hotel.

EJ followed, pulling up beside her and discreetly observing the lobby.
The room seemed to be made up of mostly wood- a deep, rich mahogany- and a high-vaulted ceiling. A lounge area was set aside near a fireplace in an adjacent wall. A primarily green wall hanging hung behind the main desk, the muted colors blending in well with the wood. The tan-colored receptionist smiled at the pair.
"Can I help you?"
"I believe we have a reservation," Edward told her. "Kuramoto."
She glanced down as she looked the name up. "Ah, here we are!" She handed the keys to Maven.

Maven accepted the keys from the receptionist. "Thank you, Ma'am."

"Have a nice stay!" she replied. "And if you need anything, feel free to give me a call."
EJ nodded in agreement and turned to follow his wife to find their rooms, minding the trailer behind him.
"It's a nice place," he commented to Maven.

"It's pretty," agreed Maven as she unlocked the door to their room and pushing it open, "I like the Celtic feel to the place."

Coming in after Maven, EJ pulled their luggage to its designated spot in the room and freed himself from the trailer. "I wonder how old it is. The woodwork is beautiful- it must be centuries old."
A brief frown flittered across his front. And when places were old, there was usually something ethereal within- back in the olden times witchcraft, sorcery, and the like weren't uncommon, and on occasion time wasn't enough to dispel any demons that were left behind. The last thing he wanted was for their honeymoon to be disturbed by his less normal half.
But he didn't voice these concerns to his wife, and instead wandered over to the window to observe the view outside.

"Probably all the way back to the 12th century," Maven glanced at the woodwork and sensed a bit of old magic within the walls. It was weak magic and she was able to easily keep it contained with her own, stronger magic, though if anyone in Ireland found out that she was a magic-user, she would be branded as a witch. She didn't want that, nor did she want anything similarily bad like that happening to EJ either, as she knew of his demon half.
