"If you mean that to discourage me from using it, you've picked the wrong tactic," Phillip replies, voice just as light as he savors how easily Gustavain moves with his touch, "But I am capable of being discreet when I feel the need."
They both know that. Gustavain has likely noticed by this point that Phillip near never directly lies, more prone to dodging questions or answering them only in part. And considering only Y'shtola seems aware that he is hiding something, he seems to do a fine job of it. Though given he's so outlandish in near ever other respect, perhaps that does some work in convincing people that he wouldn't bother hiding.
He pockets the device, though because he is actually a complete ass, he makes sure to flip it back to that one setting for a moment, long enough to shake Gustavain loose before returning it to the more neutral setting. "Lunch, then?" he says cheerfully, outwardly entirely unaffected- though again, Gus knows him well enough to know that's not at all the case.
