"If there weren't so many eyes on me right now, I'd drag you there," his smirk meets Phillip's own. Not that the blooming mark on his neck that he's doing nothing to hide or the fading but not faded scratch marks on Phillip's torso don't paint an evocative picture even without them having their hands all over each other, but at least that requires inference. Still, the walk back will be done without them so much as touching, even though Gustavain won't make any effort to keep them from walking close enough together to make it quite clear they're comfortable with one another.
After all, if it turns out that Phillip can't be here under the same auspices, Gustavain having taken a random scholar or gleaner here as a lover isn't the most unbelievable thing, and would give reason for Phillip to be around.
Luckily, there's no one he knows manning any of the public areas of the Annex, though he's given a surprised-but-knowing sort of look when he asks after the key to his current room. If nothing else, it lets Phillip know that Gustavain doesn't have any sort of reputation here.
