This chapter sees Tyrion and Illyrio finally parting ways. I wonder if we'll see Illyrio again or if he'll be long dead before that time arrives. I kind of hope he lives so we can find out exactly what he's been planning and scheming with Varys for these many years.
Duck and Haldon are interesting characters if for no other reason than they are so rough around the edges. Ser Duck really is a horrible name. I think it's a worse name than Dunk. At least Dunk goes by Ser Duncan the Tall when he is trying to be a proper knight.
I liked finding out that Tyrion wanted to be a septon at one point in his life and now he is quite the opposite of being a holy man. Granted, many of the septons we have seen have been quite far less than holy. So many things would be different if things had gone differently for Tyrion. What if he had become a septon? What if he had stayed married to Tysha? What if Tywin had allowed him to tour the Free Cities as a youth? What if he hadn't been born a dwarf?
It sounds like Tyrion is getting very close to meeting Dany. This guy Griff sounds like he's going to be a pain. I think he'll be a hindrance even once Tyrion has proven his worth and been accepted by Dany. And, yes, I think Tyrion will be accepted by Dany. She's too smart to turn him away. Tyrion presents a very persuasive case to his worth. He knows everything about his family. He knows how to break them. He wants to break them. Part of me is very excited for the day that Tyrion and Cersei meet again. That will be quite interesting and I fear it will be the last thing that Cersei ever experiences.
