"Hm. Shall I tie you down, darling?" he just seems to know, no indication of if this is the darkness or the Echo or just Gustavain... and is this new to this strange form of his or does he always know and he's just usually not so keen to wield it like a weapon?

"It's alright, you know," he says it tenderly enough but also casually, as though there's not a chance that there's a millennia of it not being alright, "you're allowed to just feel and not reach." Whatever the answer to that might be, though, either bit of it, Phillip will have to work it out while he pushes another finger in, slower than the first but just as firm and unyielding. It's perhaps a bit soon, but as much as Gustavain is unhurried feeling about this, he is aware that someone's going to come looking for the squadron eventually.
