The guards knew Lady Marianne from her previous visits to Runestone and, mindful that Joanna and her sister were close, ushered them inside at once. Joanna happened to be in the yard as they entered. She spotted the group as they strode through the gates and it took all her dignity to walk rather than run.
"Marianne!" She cried joyfully. "I've missed you so much."
She swept her arms around her sister in a warm embrace.

"You should have," Joanna said with a laugh. "I would have liked to hear about your adventures. How do you find marriage? Does Lord Tybolt treat you well?"

Marianne smiled, and held out her hand for Tybolt, who had Adelene.
"Yes, of course he does. Tybolt this is my sister Joanna, Joanna, my husband and our daughter Adelene."

"My sister is blessed with a handsome husband and a beautiful child," said Joanna. "And no. Lord Tybolt, Steffon is not here. Not yet. Perhaps that is for the best."

Mari smiled.
"In truth, I am glad that Steffon isnt. He is not the first that I would wish to meet when we returned to Westeros."
She took Adelene from Tybolt.
"How are my neices? And brothers?"

Tybolt nodded, "When I met him again... one of us may die."

"Your nieces are fine, Marianne, and so are our brothers," Joanna answered. "Maekar is as grumpy as ever but Daeron is finally reconciled with Calla. I've not seen Steffon and Rodrick in ages,but that's nothing new."
Joanna turned worried eyes on Tybolt.
"Steffon wronged the two of you but if you try to kill him, you will be committing an even greater wrong. He is still your goodbrother and I think it would damage your relations with Marianne if you kill him. Besides, if you lost, you'd leave a heartbroken widow behind and then Marianne and Steffon could never make peace with one another. Is that what you want?"

Marianne bit her lip, not looking at Tybolt.
"Nothing will happen when they meet. I would be glad to see Steffon again. Just not yet. Hopefully he will have forgiven by then."

"Let's jhope so," Joanna said. "We shoudl give him time to get used to your return to Westeros. I'm sure that in time he will see the benefits to the situation."
She hugged Marianne again, careful of her small niece.

"Im sure that he will get used to it." Marianne said with a smile, she took Tybolts hand with her free one and squeesed it. "In time. Is Daemon here? We need to speak with him."

"Yes, Daemon is here, and I'm sure he will be happy to see you both. I think he has more sympathy with the two of you than with Steffon."

Hope you all are well and happy.
