When Tyrion finds out that Aegon is going west

[Nicklas Black]

He says something like ''wow he took the bait'' or something like that..

First of all why whould he try to trick him?

At first i thought Aegon going to westeros was a pretty good idea, but now Tyrion confuses me..

What do you thing is Tyrion's end game?

He can't still be loyal to the Lannisters and he doesn't seem to be that invested in Dany's cause either..

[nekrohsis]

Tyrion wants revenge on his sister. He wants Aegon to take the throne to punish her. He's also trying to raise a force to retake Casterly Rock.

[Mladen]

Tyrion is loyal to himself, and his end game is Casterly Rock... The idea isn't overall bad but isn't the best one for Aegon, it's the best one for Tyrion... And that is why he believes Aegon took the bait...

So that was the bait?

I thought that he gave him bad advice on purpose for some reason..

And him taking Casterly Rock seems unlikely..

As much as i love the guy, i don't think any lord in westeros would want to have a dwarf as liege lord..

[Bright Blue Eyes]

Tyrion has one goal: Lord of Casterly Rock under any King not named "Cersei's child". He doesn't care whether it will be Aegon VI or Danaerys I. But he would have to offer them something for it. He offered Aegon good council (which did involve himself), but events overtook him.

I really think perhaps too much is being made out of the word 'bait.' I think the assessment that Tyrion gave Young Griff or Aegon or Whoever, on Dany was spot on. I think at the time, Tyrion did want to return to Westeros, he was still pretty bitter and just looking for a way to muck up Cersei's life, but the advice and insight into Dany was spot on. I do think it's possible that if The Griffs had continued on their course to Dany, she might not have viewed him much differently than she did Quentyn. Okay, so he would have come with more sellswords, but she already had an army of a much larger size.

While Tyrion had personal motives about it, I think he was honest with Griff in his reasonings, IMO.

[Swiftraven]

I don't think he meant that Aegon "took the bait" like he's leading him into a trap or something. I think he means it more like Aegon is acting upon the idea Tyrion planted in his mind during their game of cyvasse.

Exactly..

If we asume Tyrion's goal is CR and vengeance on Cercei, then Aegon's success is directly linked to Tyrion's..

But like you said the word ''bait'' probably did confuse a lot of us readers.. :P

[Ser Duncan of Flea Bottom]

Tyrion's objective: Take his birth right, Casterly Rock and with a new king and his sister dead or imprisoned, he can return to Westeros as an inocent man

[DolorousRed]

Aegon and JonCon would complicate things for Tyrion when he meets Dany. It's not that Tyrion has any loyalty to the Targs, but he sees Dany and her dragons as the instrument he can use to get his vengence. He wants as much influence over her as possible, so he doesn't want them in his way.
