As he and Victor left the airport, Damon took a quick look around to get a feel for the strange surroundings.
There was a lot going on in the parking lot, and the cool air from Ireland felt both refreshing and grounded.
They walked up to a sleek rental car that Victor had reserved ahead of time.
It was a black SUV that promised to be comfortable and reliable for their stay.
It wasn't fancy, but it did the job.
Victor got into the driver's seat and pulled up the GPS for their hotel.
Damon watched as he fixed his bag in the passenger seat.
"It's about thirty minutes from here," Victor said, glancing at Damon as he started the engine.
Damon nodded, leaning back into his seat. "Sounds good."
The drive was quiet at first, with Damon occasionally looking out the window.
The roads eventually led them to the hotel, a stunning five-star establishment nestled near the city center.
