"He's curious. He's heard so many stories about this woman. He hears that she's a kindred spirit, someone who's an outsider who's been pushed to the edges, but has an unfortunate, dirty last name. Everybody associates the Targaryens with the Mad King," the actor said.
"He wants to know her in person and is tired of hearing the stories. Varys helps convince him of the reality of her. And I think dragons are a big part of it – everybody is denying the reality of these creatures and certainly Tyrion has as well. But just like Tyrion going to The Wall in season one, he likes to see things first hand," Dinklage continued.
Of course the questions lie on the true intentions of Varys (Conleth Hill) for urging Tyrion to do so.
The Master of Whisperers has been known both by book readers and TV viewers to be a proliferator of conflicting information that at the same time helped save a city from destruction.
"His strategy all along has been about creating illusions of power, of moving pieces around with his hand in it, largely unseen," Vulture wrote.
Can Tyrion really trust Varys?
