Chapter Fourteen- The Honeymoon
"Ms. Lina. Mr. Gourry. Where are you both going to now?" asked Amelia, seeing Lina and Gourry walk down the stairs.
"We both made some plans." Lina gazed over to Gourry, grinning at him.
"Plans? What kind of plans?" asked Amelia.
"We were both going to head off to our honeymoon, to spend our vacation together." said Lina. "And, maybe go cool off at some hot springs, somewhere? Please, be a good girl and keep my wedding dress in good storage and condition while I'm gone. I'll come back for it some day! Well..." she said. "See ya, Amelia!" she and Gourry headed out the door all fast, while Amelia watched them leave in shock.
"At least, they're both getting along now. Huh?" said Amelia, speaking to herself. "I can't believe Ms. Lina left her wedding dress stuff behind. It's probably because she can't take it with her, or else it would get damaged. And, she doesn't have any space for it. I may as well, hold onto it while she's gone."
"Hey, Lina." said Gourry, holding a bag of his stuff. "Where are we headed to first?"
"Let's go to the springs and relax there." suggested Lina. "I feel so tired still from our wedding night. My whole body feels sore."
"Oh, okay then. Why don't we talk while we're both going there? We need to start talking about our future, Lina."
"Our future?" asked Lina. "Yeah, you're right? Was is it that we should discuss, first?"
"Where are we going to live? We need to get a house soon, to both live in together."
"Yes. I think getting a house together, would be our first step to our new life."
"How about the Kingdom of Saillune? Where Amelia is from?" asked Gourry.
"No, thanks. I would rather not live in a place where I got framed from. That doesn't exactly make me feel welcome, there anymore." Lina said.
"What about the Kingdom of Xoana? Where Martina is from?" Gourry thought.
"Nope. Look, Gourry. Honestly, I don't want to live in anything fancy. I don't want to live in kingdoms. I enjoy the rather simple-country life. Where there's grass. Do you want to live in your hometown?" Lina kept walking.
"Ohh, that makes sense. That sounds like you. You like to keep things.. simple. You enjoy them, just the way that they are. I don't want to live back in my hometown. I don't think it's a good idea for me to go back there." said Gourry. "I don't really like having family troubles that I don't like getting involved in."
Suddenly, a great idea formed into Gourry's head. "Do you want to live back at your hometown?" her asked. "What was the name of it? Again?"
"Zephilia." said Lina. "I was born in Zephilia."
"Lina. I wouldn't mind building my life with you, over there. I would do anything to make you happy."
"Zephilia? Well, honestly. I do miss my old peaceful life over there. And I do want to be around my family." replied Lina. "Even if, it means dealing with my big sister Luna. Who scares me if I disobey her...so I just end up listening to her regardless." she giggled. "We'll live in Zephilia, then. And get a house over there, once our honeymoon is over with."
"Great. I can't wait until we do that soon." Gourry then pointed to a building. "Hey, look! We made it to the hot springs!"
"Yes! And now, I can go take a relaxing and warm bath!" Lina was hyped about the hot springs.
When they went inside, they both went to separate hot springs separated by gender. Gourry went to the one for males. While, Lina went to the one for females.
"Ahhh!~" Lina felt so relaxed with her naked body in the water. Her chest was covered by a couple of rocks. "There's nothing more soothing, for a girl's natural skin.. to get touched by the nature of a hot spring's water. So it can heal your tired-aching body."
After, she got out of the hot spring she headed back to her room that she shared with Gourry. She changed into a pink kimono and had her hair tied up in a traditional bun. Gourry then came back, wearing a blue male kimono. "Hey, Lina. I see that you're done with your time in the hot spring."
"Yeah, I am." said Lina. "I feel so relaxed."
"I like your hair. It's pretty, just like you." Gourry complimented Lina on her messy hair-bun.
"Oh, please. You think anything looks good on me." said Lina.
"You do. And it's true."
"Say, Gourry. What's your view on kids? What do you think about them?" wondered Lina.
"Kids? I think they're cute and it looks nice to have them. I mean, I kinda had that one past experience with being a father to Miss Mermaid's kids. Even though, they weren't actually my kids. But in the end, it made me sorta wish that I had kids of my own to raise. I don't know how to explain it. It was a fun and happy experience for me to have. I want to do that, all over again."
"Ohh. Right. I thought you were a good father with Ms. Mermaid's kids. Even though they technically weren't your's. I thought that it was great and mature of you to step up, to help raise them with her." Lina moved closer to Gourry on top of the large white Japanese futon that they were both sitting on.
"What do you think about kids, Lina? What you consider having them? Would you want any with me? Is that, what you're suggesting to me?" asked Gourry.
"Well, I..." Lina's face turned really red. "Uh..." she said. "Maybe?" she said. "I mean. Kids are cute too. It makes me wonder what a kid with our genes would even look like? Right?"
Gourry pulled Lina closer to his chest. "It's okay. You don't have to rush yourself to make this decision now. You can always think about it, later. You have all the time in the world." he kissed the top of her head. "Just give me an answer soon, please. That's all I ask for, Lina. Now, goodnight. My love."
