Gustavain is often in trouble and he's often in a version of this specific trouble, but this is probably the most in trouble he has been since he walked into the Intercessory for the first time. It keeps him from thinking too hard about paradoxes and the fact that Phillip doesn't know his name, didn't know who he was and why that might be, if this is actually more intimately linked with his timeline than he thought.
"Gustavain," he can't stop the charming smile he gives back, some things instinctive and on autopilot, his attraction (really any of his emotions) not something he's given to hiding, even if he doesn't talk about them much, "And thank you."
There's still that tug from either what he knows of Phillip or the Echo or both, something else instinctive that he's letting tug him along, smooth out this conversation while his brain is in freefall,
"It seems like some of the creations here have been a bit unruly. Would you like me to accompany you somewhere?" It's fitting enough of someone's construct, to want to help, he figures, and he's been playing the part out here in public for long enough to make it easy.
