Ascot realized he was in deep shit, and Markus' talking gun was making things worse. Yes, Taura was attractive, but so was Drasil, not that he'd blurt that out loud and risk offending people. Actually, he preferred Drasil, looks-wise, but he won't say that out loud, either. Thankfully, honesty would work this time, because the truth [i]was[/i] that Taura's looks hadn't entered his mind. So he would try it.

"I...I wanted to ask this 'Ushi-Oni's' autograph because I heard a lot about her people's sheer power and battle prowess," parts of that were true, "and also because I'm interested in history, especially history of battles," even more true. "And there's no reason I can't ask for an autograph from both of you; I mean, both of you have proven that you are awesome and badass."

Why was Drasil so angry? After all, Ascot hadn't done anything as offensive as casual flirting yet, and will refrain from doing so because he wasn't suicidal and because he wanted to earn the two Celestial Spirits' indifference to his future actions. Then, Taura [i]actually gave him his autograph[/i], then tried to talk down Drasil, giving Ascot the opportunity to withdraw.

"Yeah," said Ascot, "I have to go to my room as well," he then pulled out the dorm paper, and held it out, allowing Taura and Drasil to glimpse the number on the document. "It seems I have to go to [Insert Dorm Number Here], hopefully, my roommate would be okay with me wearing My Little Pony pajamas."
