Fin wasn't saying anything to her comments, but Jess actually didn't mind it. He was probably enjoying the scenery just like she was and there really wasn't much to say about that. Fin was probably already used to his beautiful mountain view.
Then they turned a corner and she turned to look out the front window, gasping when she saw the castle. "Fin," she muttered, delighted as she reached over and tapped his shoulder. "Is that a castle? It's fantastic!" Jess grinned as she stared at the place. "Are people allowed in or are we driving by?" Honestly, she'd love to go inside, but if Fin had other plans, she wouldn't mind that either.

She gasped, saying his name and tapping his shoulder. He grinned, nodding. "Yes, yes it is," he laughed out loud then. He loved seeing her like this. Her eyes were glued to the castle as he drove closer, "or, we're definitely allowed in," he said softly. As they pulled through the trees, a gateway appeared before them. It was more obvious now that this castle was a tourist destination. There were a lot of other cars, some outdoor shops and food carts, and a little town in a square in front of the castle. He pulled the car into a parking spot, jumping out to cross to her side of the car to open her door.

Fin was smiling and laughing (probably at her), but Jess couldn't care less. He was taking her to a real castle! Okay, sure, she'd spent all her schooling in a magical castle and that was awesome, but this was different. This was a beautiful castle near Dublin and it was beautiful and all she wanted to do was check it out with Fin. "I love it!" she told him, her eyes widening more as he drove closer and it became even more obvious that they would be allowed inside. All sorts of tourists were here, but Jess didn't care. "You sure you don't mind checking it out with all the tourists around?" she teased. They parked and he opened her door for her and Jess jumped out, grabbing his arm. "I'm so excited!" she squealed as they approached the castle. Ahhhh she couldn't stand how pretty this was.

She loved it, which didn't surprise him. It was an amazing place. "Oh yeah, it's fine. There's always tourists here," he added, not realizing she was giving him a hard time. She jumped out when he opened the door, grabbing his arm and squealing. He chuckled again, pressing the button for the car doors to lock. As they approached the castle he veered toward a desk just outside, "O'Niell, Finley - Party of two?" he said, and the man at the desk gave him a little envelope. "Enjoy your stay, sir and madam," the attendant said with a small bow. Finely turned to Jess with a wicked smirk on his face, "it's a hotel," he explained.

Finley answered her seriously and Jess smiled at him. She loved how sometimes he caught it when she was teasing and other times he didn't. It just made him that much more attractive to her. He lead her to a desk, giving his name. Her eyebrows furrowed when the guy in charge handed him an envelope and asked them to enjoy their stay. She quirked an eyebrow at Fin as they turned away, liking his smile. "Oh, a hotel? Wait, so we're going to stay here?!" Jess got more and more excited by the minute. "Where is our room?" she asked curiously as they stepped inside the huge doors. "Wow," she breathed, already impressed as she looked around herself.

She was definitely excited which just made Finley even more excited himself. He was doing all of this for her anyway. She stepped inside the big doors, asking where their room was, looking around excitedly. "Come on," he said holding a hand out to her to take hers, "I'll show you." He took her up the stairs one flight of stairs, then two more, until they were on the fourth floor. He led her down the hall into a room to which he slipped the key in the electronic lock and opened the door.
Inside was a fairly small room, nothing super fancy, except for the fact that the view out the window was incredible. That's what he really paid for staying at this place. He walked over to it and gestured to the green lands and water below, "behold, Ireland," he said with mock dramatisation. "They give tours of the castle that we can do tomorrow. I thought tonight we'd check out the village."

Jess took Fin's hand, grinning at the idea of staying in the castle. That was so cool! She followed him up the stairs and to their room, staring at everything around them as they went. Jess couldn't help but squeeze his hand every time she saw something cool. It was just amazing!
Once they were in their room, he showed her the view. Jess rushed over to the window, gaping at the scene. Then she turned to Fin. "This place is amazing! Have you ever stayed here before?" She glanced back over to the window.
"There's a village!? How far away is it?" She was probably overreacting or too excited or something, but Jess honestly couldn't help it. She couldn't wait to explore with Fin and see everything he wanted to show her. "When do you want to go?"

She asked if he'd ever stayed there before and he nodded, turning to look at her as well. "Yeah. I've stayed here on my own a few times, never with anyone," and he had definitely snuck in to find a warm place to sleep many of those times when he was avoiding his parents, but he wasn't sure if he wanted to share those details just yet. Honestly, if he ever made enough muggle money to own this place some day he'd probably buy it. He'd keep it a hotel, sure, but he wouldn't mind it being his home too.
"It's just outside around the back, we would just walk around the castle from where we came in at the front," he explained. "We could go right now. I think we'll want to change first, today is supposed to get pretty cold when the sun goes down," he suggested, moving toward their bags. He kept the window open, of course, so the view was right in the background.

Fin explained that he'd stayed here on his own a few times and Jess smiled. "Have you ever had a better view than this?" she teased, though really she was just impressed. Sure, since arriving yesterday he'd shown her a few good views of the countryside already, but this one beat out the others without a doubt. "I love this place," Jess added after a minute. It was so homey and comfortable. She loved it.
He told her a little more about the village and Jess finally turned away from the window. Even though she didn't think she could get tired of that view, she wanted to be able to spend time with Fin. That's why she was here after all. "Okay, it'll just take me a few minutes," she said as she opened her bag and pulled out some warmer clothes.
When she was ready, she approached him and kissed his cheek. "I'm ready," she told him with a smile, assuming he was ready first. He normally was, which Jess didn't mind at all.

He chuckled, "no, I haven't." He loved hearing the way she was so excited about every little thing that was happening. She said she loved this place, which just made the knot in his stomach untangle more and more. Every day it was a cycle. He woke up feeling terrible about lying to her about his life, and every day she made him happy enough that he forgot about what a bad person he was... until the night time when it all started over again when he lie awake. Lying next to her, though... that made it a little easier. And harder. He changed into warmer close as well, pulling a Gryffindor red sweater over his head right before she kissed his cheek, saying she was ready. He grinned, turning toward her as he straightened out his sweater. He leaned forward to kiss her lips as he finished up, then released the lion printed sweater to take both side of her face with his hands. He kissed her deeply, as if it was the last kiss they'd have.... or something. When he broke free from the kiss he kept his hands on her neck, "alright, alright. Now I'm ready," he promised, moving toward the door and sliding his hands into hers. @jessavette

Jess grinned when Fin said he hadn't had a better view. "Good. Then we can enjoy it together!" she replied happily, glancing out the window yet again. Honestly, she couldn't seem to stop. It was so pretty and she was so excited to go out and get a look at the nearby village. She loved how Fin knew her so well and planned things that she wanted to do. Or maybe they were just really similar and he wanted to do the same kinds of things that she wanted to do. Either way, it was adorable and exciting.
She chuckled when Fin leaned down to kiss her. She loved it when he kissed her. Then he took hold of her hand and kissed her hard. Jess melted against him, returning his kiss without hesitation. She loved him. She loved this trip and everything about what was going on in her life right now.
When he pulled away, promising he was ready and taking her hand, Jess chuckled. "As long as you're sure," she teased, before moving towards the door a little more. "I am pretty excited about seeing everything. Are we wandering around or do you have a plan?" It was Fin. She could see it either way.

She was so happy that they could enjoy the view together, it was hard not to grin back. When he finally stopped kissing her and said he was ready to go, she gave him a hard time questioning if he really was sure. "I'm never sure," he muttered softly, teasing. She was backing toward the door, and she asked about their plans. He couldn't help it, though. He closed the gap between them one more time, kissing her in a quick moment of weakness. Then he released her hands, separating them completely and moving to open the door. "I think we will wander for now, I don't have a specific plan. I guess I'm trying to take your example and be a little more spontaneous... a little," he laughed. Once they were out of the hotel and back outside, he wrapped an arm over her shoulders. "Alright, you decide where to first. Foot cart? Gift shops? The cliffs?" he made some suggestions, but there were really a lot of little things to do here and there. @jessavette

Jess smiled when Fin said that he was never sure if he was done kissing her. She couldn't argue that, because she completely understood it. She loved their private time together and liked that Fin didn't mind admitting it. She barely had time to ask about plans before he was kissing her again, not that Jess minded. She kissed him back and smirked when he pulled away, letting her go and opening the door. Jess stepped outside, nodding at his words. She quirked a head at him, "You think I'm spontaneous?" Honestly, Jess hadn't ever thought of herself that way, but the way he made it sound it was a compliment and she liked it. "Well I'm proud of you for trying something new," she said, just a hint of teasing in her tone.
She stepped a little closer to him when he wrapped an arm around her shoulders, listening as he gave some suggestions. "Ooooh, the cliffs! Let's go there first ... but don't be surprised if I make us stop on the way to look in a shop or grab food," she teased, grinning up at him. "Which way do we go?" she asked, eyes glittering with excitement.

He rolled his eyes, "if you're not spontaneous, then you're crazy, so you can decide which one it is," he suggested. She said she was proud of him for trying something new and he shook his head, smirking a little. Soon they were outside and when he asked what she wanted to do, of course she chose the cliffs. "Start with the highs and work our way down until sleep. That's not a bad plan," he commented. He kept her hand in his and led the way, they'd have to walk through a portion of the town to reach the cliffs anyway. "It's not far, just behind the castle," he pulled her forward. They passed a few shops, Jess definitely stopped more than once, but son they made their way through the archway that led to the national park beyond. The cliffs stretched our ahead of them. @jessavette

Jess grinned, squeezing his hand as she looked up at him with a glint in her eye. "So I can't be crazy and spontaneous? Sometimes simultaneously, other times only one or the other?" If anyone else called her crazy she might feel a bit self-conscious, but this was Fin. She loved him and trusted him and she knew that he felt the same way for her. She had nothing to worry about with him.
She shrugged at his comments about the cliffs. "Well, that and I had to keep you guessing. Also, there's not really a method to my madness,"she smiled up at him, pausing for a second to lift onto the tips of her toes and kiss his cheek. Then he was pulling her through the town, despite the fact that Jess did make him stop a few times.
Then they were at the cliffs. Jess stopped and stared, eyes wide. "Fin," she whispered. "This is beautiful." Her hand squeezed his automatically as she smiled out at the landscape. She loved scenes like this, and the fact that she was experiencing this one alone with Fin? It made the whole experience that much better.
