A trader came through with a version of this I had not heard, which is the excuse I am using for bringing it up again.

What I am actually asking is whether Varys serves anyone but Varys. I have changed my mind on this twice, which is more than most will admit to.

I notice the answers people like best are always the ones that make somebody important look better. That is not proof of anything, but it is a pattern.

Say I am wrong, if you think so. Somebody usually does.
