* HeroicVow: Dylan's initial mission was to protect the prince. He is so devoted that when given orders to use the prince as bait, he argues with his superiors to stand up for his companion and newfound friend



* JerkwithaHeartOfGold: Despite Dylan's hotheaded streak and lack of thinking that makes him come across as callous and gets him into heaps of trouble constantly, he handles Paget's admission of attraction and [[ComingOutStory coming out as pansexual]] so well and shows his utmost and earnest support



* YoureNotMyType: Of the respectful variety. Paget [[ComingOutStory admits attraction to Dylan]]. Dylan handles this (mostly) maturely, showing he's flattered but admitting he is heterosexual and not into Paget like that. But he scoffs at the idea of abandoning his friend, [[JerkwithaHeartOfGold showing Dylan's soft side and loyalty to his friends]]
