Note that in the description, the Gatekeeper says "Departing so soon?". This seems like confirmation for DEPART AT NOON.

As best as I can interpret the exchange between the Gatekeeper and the Quaices in this section, I gather that

1) Solving KEEP A WATCHFUL EYE OUT FOR A CLUE AND AS MY PEOPLE EXIT SO CAN YOU somehow gives a message from the Gatekeeper that implies the Quaices won't see him again, and that this only uses information prior to The Bully Pulpit (Colleen says earlier in the Theseus guide that they don't have everything they need to see the Minotaur yet)

2) The "key where you [the Gatekeeper] will go next" is somehow derived prior to The Bully Pulpit as well, but solving the thing you use the key for requires information that the Quaices wouldn't have access to, like the Gatekeper letter at the end of the book. My guess, based on "Play Fair" occuring in the letter, is that this is a Playfair cipher of some kind.
