"We are meeting my brothers wife today." Tyland reminded aislynn.
"They didnt invite us to the wedding. Its not my fault." Aislynn reminded him.
"Yes my mother's idea, I assure you." Tyland agreed. "And the fact that jason is scared of you. Can you behave today?"
"Its like you dont know me at all," aislynn purred. Tyland held onto her giving it a squeeze. "Yes. I will behave! But let me get something out of the way first," she added clearing her throat. "Are we meeting the wife or his favorite mistress whom he has already had a bastard with?"
"The wife and their daughter... True born," he added delicately touching his hands together, as if trying to come up with a better way to put it.
"OK," she agreed simply "what's her name again? Not the mistress, those come and go but the wife."
"Johanna." Tyland reminded her.
"Yes, that's right his cousin because he is unlovable and his mother had to set up a match for him with someone." Aislynn agreed. She wasnt wrong.
"Behave, Aislynn my love." he begged.
"You are the only lannister I tolerate." Aislynn corrected kissing him.
"Oh you just tolerate me? Thats all?" He mused locking his arms around her. She shrugged teasingly and he started to tickle her. "Tolerate?" Tyland repeated as she laughed out.
"I love you. I love you!" Aislynn assured through a fit of laughter.
"Welcome brother!" Jason declared. Aislynn didnt like being back at Casterly rock. She forced a smile as Jason hugged her his hands lingering on her skin for too long.
"Aislynn, welcome, you remember my wife, Johanna." Jason declared.
"No we never met." Aislynn corrected.
"Funny with how much Jason speaks of you I feel like I know you." Johanna remarked giving Aislynn two air kisses on either cheek. Aislynn rose her eyebrows, her smile falling as she leaned back from Johanna and looked to Tyland.

Gods this woman. Aislynn already didnt like her, too clingy, to touchy, Aislynn resisted the urge to shove her away.
"Johanna, nice to meet you," Tyland offered.
"Dont kiss my husband." Aislynn added. "Unless you want to bleed." SHe added innocently. Johanna laughed out.
"She's such a peach!" Johanna declared.
"She is to perky for me." Aislynn murmured.
"This is Titus, our eldest, Tobias, and our youngest, Amelia." Tyland introduced. Amelia gave her best curtsy.
"Welcome!" Johanna shouted. "Welcome to our home!" She annunciated every word.
"Why is she shouting at us?" Titus questioned.
"They are children, not deaf." Aislynn agreed.
"You havent met my girls!" Johanna declared. She clapped out running to the other room.
"I have a migraine already, we can't stay here." Aislynn begged wrapping her arms around Tyland.
"We just got here," Tyland countered. "We will stay for supper-"
"A whole meal with her and your mother?" Aislynn countered as Ciera came back.
"Aislynn..." Ciera drawled. "Hello my sweet grandbabies, come to grandma." she opened her arms for Titus, Tobias and Amelia. Amelia moved to her hugging her while the boys hesitated giving her an awkward half hug before moving to Tyland's side.
"Cerelle! My eldest!" Jason declared. "She's three."
"Shes a heafy baby." Aislynn agreed looking to Tyland, he was ever the smug one today. Cerelle was the chubbiest baby in the world. She had big pinchable cheeks and thick arms and legs that made her look like she was going to rip through her little dress with any breath.
"What was her name again?" Tyland chuckled.
"Cerelle." Johanna repeated.
Aislynn without the urge to say it sounds like Cruella.
Ceira was disappointed but she normally was. Two daughters in five years and not a single worthy heir. Aislyn had produced two male heirs and a daughter. Couldnt jason and johanna one up them for once?
"Come sit, the food is almost ready." Jason remarked leading them to the banquet hall.
"You are pregnant again, what... good news." Aislynn remarked.
"It's going to be boy." Johanna agreed. "Oh! And this is Tyshara."
T names were her and tylands thing. What was this monster doing? Tyland pat aislynns thigh and she relaxed smiling back at him. It wasnt her fault his family made her tense.
"She just turned one." Ciera added. "But they know a boy is on the way."
"Gypsy magic?" Tyland pondered and Johanna laughed out.
"Nonsense, a mothers intuition." Johanna corrected.
"You thought the first two were boys." Jason countered. "Whats that say about your intuition?"
Tyland was find if Jason never had an heir, then Tyland would have rule over casterly rock once Jason passed and Tyland and Aislynn's sons after him. Jason however didnt want to give up his throne even in death. He had a few bastards all girls and unfortunately for him he has a bad track record with babies. This one had to be a boy.
Jason begged it to be a boy. He didnt much like his wife, hence his mistresses. Johanna was dimwitted and daft. Ciera wanted someone easily controllable since Tyland's wife, Aislynn was anything but controllable. But Johanna had yet to give Jason an heir and that was a womans duty in life. Reproduce, reproduce, reproduce. Preferably males.
"When are you due?" Tyland questioned.
"A few moons." Johanna added rubbing her stomach. "You should stay! It will be grand having the whole family here!"
"No!" Aislynn and Ciera both practically shouted. Johanna's smile faltered.
"Oh, thats right, Jason said you two dont like each other." Johanna recalled. Aislynn chuckled.
"Yes. That is putting it lightly." Tyland agreed.
"Do you have cake?" Titus cut in.
"I'm sure we can find you some sweets." Johanna agreed, blinking back at him. Titus waited for her to move but she just stared back at him.
"Any day now." Titus added. "Please?"
"Oh yes, Ciera would you mind?" Johanna questioned. "I'm quite pregnant." Ciera clenched her jaw, she was not a maid, not a servant.
"Yes Ciera, Johanna is pregnant, she should be waited on hand and foot. Do go to the kitchens and find something sweet for my baby boy." Aislynn agreed.
"Thank you mother." Tyland added as Ciera got up, her chair scraping against the ground.
"Johanna, tell me about yourself." Aislynn remarked. "What made you so desperate do say to a proposal from Jason?" Jason spewed out his drink all over the table and Amelia shrieked.
