Ascot wasn't normally a 'Blood Knight', but the fight with Turbo had been...uninteresting, just him throwing out attacks and Turbo 'soaking' them. Although he was surprised by the flames, and had to desummon his Keyblade as a result, his observation of the flame-cloaked warrior showed that the boy was paying extremely close attention, and, furthermore, was anticipating the fight; he might get beaten, he might not, but he would still feel the adrenaline rush.

"You're powerful," spoke Ascot, "more powerful than Turbo. And genuinely terrifying, not like that Gula person. What are you here for? What have you come for? Then again, you won't answer; that's what you 'mysterious agenda' villains do." And with that, he cast Haste on the members of the group, one by one, then began to think up possible tactics for use against the enemy.

The boy didn't have Blizzard or Water spells; his specializations were Light, Speed, and Fire; only two of which were marginally useful. This meant that he would have to play a support role in the battle, and leave 'tanking' up to Jake. Fair enough; Paladin though he was, Ascot was still a small kid, and if back stabs were how he can make himself useful, then back stabs were what he was going to do.
