As the second siege of Meereen resumes, Inkpots urinates himself watching Viserion snatch corpses in mid-air being flung by the Wicked Sister. A Yunkish officer rides up to them and orders Inkpots to bring the company to the shores of the bay, but Inkpots refuses to obey the order.[3]

Quotes

Tyrion: In Westeros, the word of a Lannister is considered good as gold.
Tybero: This is not Westeros. On this side of the narrow sea, we put our promises on paper. Debts written on the wind tend to be ... forgotten, shall we say?[1]

Tyrion: Tybero? That sounds almost Lannister. Are you some long-lost cousin?
Tybero: Perhaps. I always pay my debts as well. It is expected of a paymaster.[1]

—Tybero to Tyrion Lannister

I keep the books. I guard our gold. I draw up our agreements, collect our wages, make certain that we have sufficient coin to buy provisions. I do not decide who we fight or when.[3]

—Tybero to Jorah Mormont
