Ascot looked at Anni, taking some time to process her words and look at her, truly look at her, for the first time since the group had met. He smiled, floating over to her, wings flapping. Then he spoke, "The answer to that is...yes. The Ghost Girl needs people and isn't picky over who she needs. That is why she gave powers to us, seemingly at random. But that doesn't mean we can trust her. For all we know, she may want us for a cause that would be destructive or against our morals or both." He was a little worried by his own words, then continued, "For now, she has all the cards. [i]For now[/i]."

His smile then grew wider, before he said, sheepishly: "You know, I like girls too. But few of them are so outspoken, yet kind. Assertive, yet gentle. Feminine, yet with steel under that silk." He blushed. "And, well, let's just say that I never noticed those attributes in you before; I am sorry."

Ascot floated down, turning back into a human for a brief few seconds, wanting to see Anni as 'himself', as his original black-haired and awkward and sort-of weak self.

Then, the light shone through him again, and he resumed his Angelic form. As his wings manifested once more, they began fluttering once more, like with Saffron. He would then say, "I will not throw myself at you like I did with Saffron. But, if you like, perhaps we can have Tristan make us a place to have a mini-date in? I noticed him talking about being able to grow fruits, structures, and gardens..."

A look at where Tristan and Tabitha were canoodling, and a kind smirk towards the former. He would then turn back to Anni and say:

"So, a mini-date in a rose garden, if you, Tristan, and Tabitha agree?" His smile was even now more shining than ever.
