A couple of weeks after their arrival in the Eyrie, Joanna got Jon alone in their chambers.
"I think it's time we left," she said. "There's really no point staying here now."

"You are not enjoying yourself?" Jon asked.

Joanna sighed.
"Well, I am, but we haven't been able to see Mother, which is the reason we came. I'm very aware of being a guest here, but before it was somewhere I could call home. It's not any more. I find it hard to see myself as a guest rather than as a member of the 'family'. Do you see?"

//// Maester Polsen searches out Lord Jon Royce in the chambers that have been prepared for him and Princess Joanna. "Yes Maester, how can I help you?" |

"My lord," he said bowing, "I have a letter from Prince Maekar for you."
He pulled a rolled up piece of parchment from his sleeve and handed it to Lord Jon.

Jon unravelled the scroll and began to read.

Jon tucked the note away,
"Maester Polson, can you please tell the steward that Princess Joanna and I will be departing as soon as practical and to make the necessary preparations for the trip down to the Vale?"

"I understand, we can leave when you are ready."

Polsen nodded and smiled, "as you wish, my lord, I will send word to Ser Esmond and have the servants prepare your belongings for the descent."
"Prince Maekar has asked that if you have any reply to his letter, to please have it sent to Ser Robert Redfort, who commands His Grace's troops in fight against the clansmen."

"Where is Ser Robert now?" Jon replied.

"I am to understand he has pulled back to Iron Oaks, to reform his men and to receive reinforcements."

Joanna smiled at her husband.
"Thank you. What are your thoughts on what we should do next?"
She knew her own mind already.

"Thank you Maester, that is all," Jon said, with a wave of polite dismissal.

"Do next?" Jon asked.

Joanna rolled her eyes - did she have to spell it out for him?
"Where shall we go, I meant."

Hope you all are well and happy.
