Varys met in secret with Melisandre and she mentioned him being a eunuch.

Meeting in secret, yes. I don't recall her referring to him as a eunuch, when does she do that?-hkeseyan

They met alone, yes... but don't get the sense that it was very "secretive". And yes if you can find a quote that'd be great, I also don't see it looking at the transcript.-nyan
Well Melisandre was hiding from Jon and didnt want to be found. I feel like that is secretive enough-kevinpetsky
Mel didnt want to be seen by Jon or Davos because she did not want her presence known. She was hiding the information of her presence because it would be caustic to relations. When Varys met with her she was literally trying to keep her presence a secret.-hindsight44
Hmm... I get that it's a secret for Mel, sorrta. She doesn't want to be seen so she chooses not to greet Jon. But she still watches him from a cliff in plain sight, if she was desperately avoiding him and trying to keep her presence a secret, she would be hiding out in some discreet corner of Dragonstone.
The other side is that it's not a secret for Varys. He doesn't even know that Melisandre is avoiding Jon on the cliff initially, and it's really of no consequence if anyone discovers Varys on that cliff with Mel. This special was originally for the Varys sneaking around in dungeons with Ilyrio or visiting Ned while pretending to be a guard, where it's high stakes for Varys to not be caught.-nyan
