It becomes clear near immediately that Phillip hadn't really meant to do that, which is probably its own confusing and surprising thing. And it means that he doesn't entirely know what to do with the situation now that he's accidentally changed it. He's not quite embarrassed when Gustavain looks up at him, but there is a flush to him that isn't normally there. It's definitely not a look that he would be terribly used to, but he has seen it a few times before, mostly in their childhood in the rare occasions when he was unsure and almost shy but undeniably fond.
He gives the hand in his a little squeeze, half apology and half thanks, because he knows quite well that there are people who wouldn't want to deal with this from him, especially know what Gustavain knows. He'll let go of it after, hand moving back into the other's hair and threading through not as tightly as before, offering the chance to go back to the dynamic if that's more what he wants. Phillip... isn't sure what he wants, if he's honest.
