In Prince Caspian, the young prince and the Old Narnians wind up in trouble, and they decide to use the magic horn. Trumpkin the dwarf is pretty vocal in insisting that blowing a magic horn is a worthless course of action.
But after the decision is made, even against his recommendation, Trumpkin goes all in and does what is necessary, even volunteering to travel to meet whatever help might arrive from the horn.
“But I thought you didn’t believe in the Horn, Trumpkin,” said Caspian.
“No more I do, your Majesty. But what’s that got to do with it? I might as well die on a wild goose chase as die here. You are my King. I know the difference between giving advice and taking orders. You’ve had my advice, and now it’s the time for orders.”
