What were Griff and Young Griff up to for the 12 years before Tyrion joins them? Hanging out on the Shy Maid, aimlessly sailing up and down the Rhoyne?
Varys says at one point that “[Young Griff] has lived with fisherfolk, worked with his hands, swum in rivers and mended nets,” so it does seem like Young Griff spent a good deal of time on the Rhoyne living and working as a fisherman while being educated. However, given his language skills, it’s quite likely that he spent a good deal of time working in the coastal trade around Pentos, Tyrosh, Myr, and Lys, although he seems to have avoided Volantis and Slaver’s Bay.
