'All rulers demand that people bend the knee that's why they are rulers' Tyrion told varys sipping his wine. 'she gave him a choice. the man took up arms against her what else could she do?'

'Not burn him alongside his son" varys offered.

'I am her hand not her head.' Tyrion Reminded him 'I cannot make her decisions for her'

'That's what I used to tell myself about her father. I found the traders but I wasn't the one burning them alive' varys said. 'That's what I told myself when I heard them beg for mercy I'm not the one doing it as the pitch of theirs screams rose higher, i'm not the one doing it. as the smell of the burning flesh filled the throne room... I am not the one doing it'

'Daenerys is not her father'' Tyrion reminded him, 'Deaneel either, they are good girls they just have a mission.... they are not their father.' He said confidently.

'And she never will be with the right counsel. you need to find a way to make her listen.' Varys said tapping a not in his hands.

'Who's that for?' Tyrion asked looking at the note.

'Jon Snow.'

'Did you read it?'

'It's a sealed scroll for the king in the north.' Varys told him

'What's it say?' Tyrion pushed,

'nothing good' varys said.

'come on then, lets get this over with.'

'I thought arya was dead I thought bran was dead' jon said reading over the letter from the north. Arya had arrived at winterfell.

'I'm happy for you. You don't look happy though' danny said looking over his worried expression.

'I saw the night king marching to the wall if they make it past the wall my family is not safe!' jon told her

'The wall has stood tall for years-'

'I need to go home' jon declared.

'You said you don't have enough men to fight this army alone.' Danny reminded him

'We will fight them with what we have.' Jon told her stubbornly. 'Unless you join us'

'And give the country to Cersei?' danny scoffed 'As soon as I march away she marches in.'

'Perhaps not.' Tyrion offered. 'If Cersei thinks the army of the dead is nothing but stories what if we prove her wrong.'

''I don't think she will come see the dead at my invitation' jon said.

'Then bring the dead to her'

'I thought that we were trying to avoid-'

'Just one soldier is that possible?'

'Bring one of these things to Kings Landing and show her the truth!' Tyrion said

'Anything you bring back will be useless if cersei does not give you permission to enter the castle she will kill us all.' Varys reminded

'She only listens to one person my brother Jaime and he will listen to me.' Tyrion said although after he killed his own father he didn't know if that was true.

'And how do you plan to get into kings landing?'

'I can smuggle you in' Davoos said 'but I warn you I am not a fighter if the redcoats recognize you...'

'With the Queens permission I will go north and find one of the white walkers.' Jorah said 'you asked me to go and find a cure so I could serve you let me serve you' he begged her.
