Tyrion and Illyrio part ways. Still don't know what the cheesemonger's ultimate goal was, considering that he can't imagine Daenerys owes him squat at this point. Tyrion meets Duck, alias Ser Rolly Duckfield, the Unimaginative Knight. Y'see he was knighted in a field and there were some ducks nearby. He's traveling with Griff. Tyrion adopts the alias of Hugor Hill, because let's face it, when you're on your way to meet the Dragon Queen, you really don't want to mention, "Oh by the way I'm the son of the guy who had your niece and nephew murdered and also the brother of the guy who killed your father. Yeah, I hate them all now, but... no, nice dragon, nice yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrhrhrhghghghghhgghhgghghgh!"
Griff has a son, Young Griff. His hair is dyed blue because Essos is Japan. (There I go again with my ethnocentrism. Last time it was calling a half-Jamaican half-Trinidadian English actress "black," now I'm saying everyone in Japan has Anime Hair.) He's in roughly the same age bracket as Daenerys, so I think her suitors are piling up rather rapidly. Griff himself doesn't take much of a liking to Tyrion and basically keeps him alive just so he can write down all he knows about dragons. Hey, remember those books Tyrion was reading back in A Game of Thrones? Good job on that.
Davos wound up on the Sisters (a trio of islands near White Harbor) after Salla finally got tired of waiting for payment. Really not a lot happens here. Lord Manderly has pledged his allegiance to the Iron Throne, so Davos's mission to recruit him for Stannis seems doomed to failure before it even began. And we already know from Feast that Davos is going to end up on a spike (or do we?), but if he does, I'm going to be annoyed, because GRRM already jerked us around pointlessly with another character in the last book.
