Tyrion was walking along the cliffs when he sees Robb standing alone looking out into the ocean. The Lannister man decides to approach the Young Wolf and speak to him.

"I came out here to brood over my failure to predict the Greyjoy attack. You're making it difficult. You look a lot better brooding than I do. You make me feel like I'm failing at brooding over failing."

"I'm a prisoner on this island. And i still haven't seen Rickon." The kimg in the North stated, the last part rather harshly.

The queen's Hand sighed. "I wouldn't say you're a prisoner on this island. You're free to walk the castle, the beaches, to go wherever you want. And as for your brother, well i don't know where he is as of right now but i assure you he is safe, probably having some fun around the island"

"Very well. But still i can't go to my ship. They took my ship." Robb kept complaining to which Tyrion answered that the ship had not been taken away only furthering Robb's impatience.

"Why don't you figure out what to do about my missing fleet and murdered allies, and I'll figure out what to do about your walking dead men." Tyrion suggested.

"It's hard for me to fathom. It really is. If someone told me about the White Walkers and the Night King..." the young wolf pauses before resuming. "I didn't wanna believe Jon. But i know my brother he is not a liar. Why am i wasting my breath you probably don't believe me."

"I do actually." The dragon queen's Hand stated.

Robb says he wants to help his people and is frustrated with the deadlock. Tyrion then encourages the Stark man not to give up. When Robb remarks that he is a fool for going south, Tyrion reassures him that the Mad King's grandaughter is not her grandfather or even father and has protected people from "monsters," telling him to speak with her servants and even Rickon and if there is something that he can do to help him.

Later Rhaenya and her council discuss what Robb and his brother need from Dragonstone.

"Dragonglass?" Ser Arthur Dayne asks makung Tyrion nod. "Yes. Volcanic glass, obsidian. He says you have a tremendous amount of it here."

"Why are we talking about glass? We just lost important allies." Daenerys asks frustrated.

"Which is why I was speaking to Robb Stark, a potential ally."

"And what does the King in the North want with Dragonglass?" Olyos asked curious causing Tyrion to turn to the young dornish man. "Apparently it can be turned into weapons that kill White Walkers and their foot soldiers, or stop them, destroy them. I'm unsure of the nomenclature."

"And what do you think of this Army of the Dead, White Walkers and Night Kings?" Rhaenya asks her Hand. She had just lost allies and the Stark man believe her to be a monster like some of her ancestors. As much as the purple eyed woman didn't want to admit she needed the North. Ideally they would bend the knee instead of fighting her.

"I'd very much like to believe that Jon Snow and his brother are wrong, but a wise man once said that you should never believe a thing simply because you want to believe it." Tyrion simply answered.

"So we are to believe old women's tales?"

"The reason I believe Robb Stark and Jon Snow, is because they are here. All of Robb's advisors would have told him not to come. I would have told him not to come, yet he's here anyway. You don't have to believe him. Let him mine the Dragonglass. If he's wrong it's worthless. You didn't even know it was here. It's nothing to you. Give him something by giving him nothing. Take a step toward a more productive relationship with a possible ally. Keep him occupied while we focus on the task at hand. Casterly Rock."
