For devotion, you don't break your oath animating Connor if you naively say you've got a wand of resurrection, say 'oh no!' afterwards, and then Mayrina snatches the wand to take him back to Baldur's Gate.
Basically be helpful, shocked, then clutch at air impotently.
Interesting! What if you have Astarion in the party and you make a couple of insensitive jokes, does the oath break then?
