Ascot was roused to fury at Lucus - apparently, that was a viable name in the Radiant Garden dialect - wanting to get his hands on Elyse, to use her in...ways that did not need any further mention. When the windblade came at him, the boy deftly avoided it because he was uncertain of his ability to take a hit, then he watched as Serin, Rose, and two unknown others counterattacked.

"Let's fight beside each other today," he spoke to Satoko as he cast Haste on every friendly in the field, aka everyone not Lucus - he still can't believe it was spelled that. The boy then cast Cura remotely over the wounded Exomin (not that he knew his name), before making further assessments of the battle. Lucus was a Wind Mage, and people like that were tricky, with...

...With their abilities to create tornadoes, blades of wind, concussing waves of air, and, of course, the vacuum trick. The boy saw Joshua and Xajsouh pausing to assess the battle like he was, and knew that if they were holding back, then Lucus must be one powerful guy. Nevertheless, for Elyse's sake, one has to try and fight him, if only to give more information to the two about how to do so better.

The boy shot a blast of fire at Lucus, following that up with his Shotlock. Then, he rushed at the man while he was dealing with Xayama's assault, trying to join his abilities to hers'. Not only was he still hasted, but he was now trying a Sonic Blade attack, trying to attack Lucus with a series of short rushes. Then, once he was done, he would use Faith.
