Given that Varys was just about to free Tyrion when Jaime forced him to do it at swordpoint, do you think Jaime’s decision to free his brother loses anything? Also, given that Tyrion is a prime example of a good man serving a bad cause (to paraphrase Varys) what, if anything, that happens to Tyrion in ASOS could be seen as Varys trying to pry Tyrion loose so he could use him in the Aegon conspiracy?

1. I think it has a major bearing on both Jaime and Tyrion’s direction as characters, less for the action Jaime takes but more for how the knowledge both gain in the moment changes them profoundly. 

2. Haven’t seen anything so far, but I’ll keep an eye out for it.
