Gustavain arches an eyebrow at that, the side of his mouth quirking upwards,
"If you think otherwise, then what you need is a mirror," the words are teasing in the way Gustavain is normally teasing, a return to the lighter, less direct way they move around one another.
All we ever do is run from one another. He's been direct about his own truth as much as Phillip's. And yet... He leans in and brushes a kiss, light, against Phillip's lips,
"Anything else can wait until after." It holds the door open to this conversation they need to have, but it also holds the door open to run from it. It's one of those weird places where Gustavain seems wiser than he ought to be, really, despite having numerous failings-- by giving them a time and a place, he clearly defines that they are NOT talking about it NOW, there's no need to worry that Gustavain is going to blindside him with something else. They are going to both have time to think. And it's done casually and expertly, with all the ease of a tactician.
Meanwhile, he'll slowly get up, help Phillip to his feet as well.
