"If I lost my cock, I'd drink all the time." Tyrion said to Varys. Tyrion wisely backtracked, "Meaning no offense." Tyrion said looking to Willow sat miserably on the ground, "He makes dwarf jokes, I make eunuch jokes." Tyrion said with a kind smile.
"I do not make dwarf jokes." Varys said.
"You think them.' Tyrion told him confidently as willow tipped into him he ran a hand along her ribs. He wanted her to feel comfortable enough to tell him but that didn't seem likely right now. Willow had been quiet. Willow was never quiet unless on a boat. She always had a comment or a joke and now the news of her pregnancy looming over her, him knowing when she didn't want anyone to know... Tyrion played with her hair as she closed her eye. "So, the fleet. It's been burned." He said to Grey Worm.
"We are searching for the men who burnt the ships but nobody saw anything." Grey Worm said.
"Surely there must be some good news lurking somewhere." Tyrion offered hopefully.
"Astapor and Yunkai have stopped asking us for aid." Varys told her.
"Perhaps they can tell us their secret." Tyrion said taking a sip of his wine. "Why do I sense a "but" coming?"
"The Masters have retaken both cities. Outside of Meereen the whole of Slavers Bay has returned to the slavers." Varys said.
"And there it is." Willow muttered. Tyrion noticed her hand pulling at the fabric of her dress at her stomach.
"What about the dragons? We have two of them here beneath the pyramid." Tyrion asked.
"They are not eating." Messandei said, "They haven't touched any food since Queen Daenerys left." She informed them.
"Daenerys is the Dragon Queen. Can't very well have the dragons starve, that's obvious." Tyrion said.
"If a dragon does not want to eat, how do you force him to eat?" Grey Worm asked.
"Dragons do not do well in captivity." Tyrion said.
"How do you know this?" Messandei asked. Tyrion smirked,
"That's what I do. I drink and I know things." He says taking a last gulp of his wine before going back to refill it.
"Confidence in a cup." Willow remarked. "Or stupidity in a cup." She countered.
"Love your confidence in me Willow." Tyrion mused and she opened her eyes and looked up at him. "The dragons Aegon used to conquer Westeros ranged over hundreds of miles. Then Daenerys's ancestors started chaining them up in pens, few generations later the last dragons were no larger than cats. They must be unchained or else they'll waste away." Tyrion told them putting the cup down. "Messandei, how many times were you in the company of these dragons?" Tyrion asked missandei.
"Many times." She replied.
"And did they ever harm you?"
"Never." Messandei answered with a shrug.
"Dragons are intelligent. More intelligent than men according to some Maesters. They have affection for their friends and fury for their enemies. I am their friend." Tyrion said
"Do they know that?" Varys as in disbelief.
"They will. It's time they had their supper."

"This is a bad idea. This is a bad, stupid idea." Varys muttered as Tyrion and Varys walked to where the dragons were being held, torches in hand. "Do you wish an early death, Tyrion?" Varys asked him.
