* ImproperlyParanoid: Girad is convinced that the Sapphire Guard will eventually try to take over the other gates, oath or no oath, and as such leads them to a trap rather then his gate. The Sapphire Guard never broke their oath (as we learn in later books, arguably to a fault) and all the trap does is delay the independent forces saving the world.

* BreakTheCutie: Subverted. In Girard's illusion, Elan is forced to admit that his deepest desire - his father and brother redeeming themselves and his family reuniting -- is never going to happen. When Haley checks on him, worried about this trope, he's actually surprisingly OK with it. Even if it was an illusion, seeing it happen gave him closure, and now he can focus on more realistic goals.

* IsThatWhatTheyreCallingItNow: Tarquin takes Elan's excuse of him and Haley needing to "give their pet orangutan a bath" as a euphemism for sex. Then he starts in on it himself, saying he, too, can still "Bathe an ape," and asking them if they're done "scrubbing the monkey." By the time he suggests Elan "wash behind the ears," the poor bard is hopelessly confused.
