Phillip doesn't have a clue what's going on, but he knows that Gustavain's surprises are usually well worth the suspense. He's seated at one of the high tables in the back, in view of the door but tucked away, part way between his actual style and attempting to blend in. Now that he knows just how much Gustavain enjoys him dressing up, he is going to take full advantage of it every chance he can get.

He feels the eyes on him before he sees the figure, looking over and watching Gustavain's entrance- like seemingly everyone else in the bar is, only he gets to see the mage heading straight towards him, and his smile turns a little smug as a result. He's purposefully not looking at aether, trying to allow the surprise to stay that way, but he at least is pretty sure this Gustavain returning the favor- though he hasn't figured out that it's not just the clothes that have changed.
