ADwD 27: Tyrion 409

Tyrion has a new captor, and it's Jorah Mormont. Which means Tyrion is probably going to be taken to Dany instead of Cersei, but it takes him the whole chapter to figure that out. They go to Volantis. Tyrion hopes Griff and crew will find him there, but of course they have abandoned that idea and gone off to Dorne instead. Tyrion figures this out when he hears rumours of an exiled lord hiring the Golden Company.

They meet some weird old ex-slave woman to ask for passage to Meereen. At first she doesn't want to help them. Then Tyrion gets attacked by someone I briefly took for Asha but was in fact the dwarf who rode the pig at Joffrey's wedding. She blames him for her brother's death, since like many dwarves he's been mistaken for Tyrion and killed for the lordship promised by Cersei for Tyrion's head. After this the ex-slave-widow decides she likes Tyrion after all and grants him passage to Meereen, saying she wants Dany to come to Volantis and free the slaves there.
