"I am trying", Varys replies 'Cause you have no cock' - "Tyrion" Season 6 onwards

[@chopsuey--]

I noticed how Varys brilliantly redirected the conversation. He never told Tyrion what he really wants while he managed to make Tyrion tell him all about his ambitions.

[@Schyderap]

At that moment the showrunners hadn't had any clue about his endgame. In the books he's supporting young Griff, a character that wasn't shown in GoT hence his "stupidity" in later seasons.

[@MrVlogman101]

In the books, Varys literally plays Tyrion at every single turn they speak. He tricks Tyrion into removing most of Littlefingers men from power and replacing them with his own(just as an example, the captain of the gold cloaks in the book). Tyrion constantly narrates in his head how good he is at politics and how great he is at the game , and Varys is always quick to reinforce this and compliment him, when in reality he literally gets played like a fiddle by Varys.

What I liked in the earlier seasons was that Varys and Tyrion were both unsure of each others motive so couldn’t communicate openly but only in got language. Both of them seek something out in each other. Varys is hoping for a like minded individual with the right last name who can serve the realm for its better-hood since he can only do so much being of low born status and Tyrion seeks an ally who he can rely on if things get heated with Cersei and later on his father when he arrives.
