Joanna studied her for a while as if to tell whether or not he was being serious, and even laughed a little when she was done deciding. "You do realize you've just contradicted yourself?" she asked.

"And how do you figure that?" Benjen asked, an eyebrow lightly raised.

"If everywhere is ripe with betrayal, then how can there be good men everywhere?" she asked, but shook her head. "Nevermind. I am not in the mood for a debate anyway," she said, with a small amending smile. "I will ride out before the main party, though. I want to get there faster, and.. not with thousands of Reachmen in tow."

Evidently many things could be in lots of places.

If that had tried to be a joke, even worse, because that would have just made it an incredibly rude one. 'Hey, your brother just died, but you look as radiant as you did on our wedding night! Just kidding, because you actually look like shit! Get it? Because your brother just died? Ha ha!!'
Joanna nodded and waved him off, not particularly sad about his departure.
