Tyrion and Ser Jorah make it to Volantis where Tyrion seeks escape. But when he finds out that they’re headed to Daenerys, not Cersei, his outlook changes markedly. Mackelly and Simon refuse to take the bait.
Chapter Review:
Tyrion Lannister arrives in Volantis as a prisoner of Ser Jorah Mormont. He tries all his tricks to wheedle out of his predicament but gets nowhere. In the city, they see the High Priest of R’hllor preaching a pro-Daenerys message to a multitude of slaves, who are here for all of it. Tyrion feels the same atmosphere as when King’s Landing rioted.
They learn that the Golden Company is headed to Westeros, and the Triarchs are happy to help. Tyrion is amazed that Aegon took his bait. But wonders if it is a ruse, and that Griff’s destination remains Meereen.
They meet the Widow of the Waterfront, a wizened former slave and business-woman. Ser Jorah asks for passage, not to King’s Landing, but to Meereen! Tyrion is ecstatic. Jorah tanks his way into her bad books, but the situation is saved when Penny, a dwarf, attacks Tyrion. Her brother died at the hands of those seeking Cersei’s favor, and she blames Tyrion. She is thwarted, but the Widow arranges passage for Tyrion and Jorah on a ship purportedly heading for Qarth.
