Joust
- Near the end of the first book, Ari discovers the truth behind Avatre... his reaction is priceless.Ari: By Sheshet's belly! I can scarcely believe it!
- One of the funerary goods for Vech's fake grave is a pair of sandals. Which are far too big for him to wear.
- When Haraket find the Gold of Honor (given to him at the hands of the great King himself) in Ari's clothes chest, the Overseer complains to Vetch that Ari had just packed them all away "like presents from an inconvenient relative." Come Sanctuary, it is revealed that Ari's father was the King's Brother and the Royal Commander of the Armies of Tia, making Haraket's statement Hilarious in Hindsight.
Alta
- Orest often has a bad habit of walking straight into jokes at his expense, for example...Orest: It's a long way to the ground. I wouldn't like to fall...Kiron: (straight faced) Oh, I'm not worried about falling. The Tian Jousters used to say that it isn't the fall that kills you.Orest: Oh? So, what is it?Kiron: It's the hitting the ground that kills you.
- The part in Alta when Heklatis "came on" to the Magus not only and Kiron in stitches. In the end poor Kiron's sides started to ache from laughing so hard.Kiron: Did-you-see-his-face!?
- Perhaps made funnier by Heklatis' comment after the Magus leaves.
Heklatis: *rude noise* As if I would touch him with a barge pole. - When Tathulan and Khaleph first meet, and start to play keep away with Tathulan's ball.
- I loved it when little-baby Bethlan decided to go look for her food and her mother, rather than wait. The idea of a baby dragon the size of a Rottweiler walking around, while looking for Mama is just too much.
Sanctuary
- Kiron discreetly giving Ari a kick in the shins every time he's about to stick his foot in his mouth and argue with Nofret.Ari: (furious) Why did you kick me?Kiron: I was saving you from doing something stupid.
