Tyrion isn’t dead. But will have to (painfully) test himself for greyscale for the rest of his life. On a detour to a brothel during a fact-finding mission, he’s waylaid by a bear-like Westerosi knight who plans to take him to the Queen. Mackelly and Simon wonder which queen?
Chapter Review:
Tyrion Lannister wakes aboard the Shy Maid. His companions have pulled him from the river and are treating his extremities with vinegar to prevent greyscale infection. He must prick his extremities every few hours to check for loss of feeling.
He talks to Young Griff (aka Aegon Targaryen) over a game of cyvasse. The young man shares what he’s been told of his rescue. When things looked bad in King’s Landing, Varys paid a tanner for his baby and smuggled the real Aegon across the Narrow Sea to Ilyrio Mopatis. Tyrion gives the young prince a few useful lessons, in particular not to expect a warm welcome from Aunty Daenerys. And to perhaps go to Dorne and lay his claim to the Iron Throne for himself. Then when they do reunite, it will be as equals.
Tyrion visits Selhorys with Haldon. They learn that the Red Priests are singing Dany’s praises, that she is Azor Ahai reborn. But that the nobility of the Rhoyne are very much opposed to her thwarting of the slave trade. Tyrion detours to a brothel where he drunkenly encounters a Westerosi knight, who calls him Imp, draws steel, and announces that he’ll be taking Tyrion to the Queen.
