That is quite possibly the most Gustavain thing he could have said in that moment, and Phillip whole heartedly believes that to him it is as simple as it sounds. When faced with possibly ending the world he was trying to save and many of his friends in one fell swoop... well, given what he was really fighting for focusing on those who wouldn't be lost fits right in.
"I missed you too." And he understands why Gustavain wouldn't have told him in those brief visits, especially if he'd wanted him to stay put. "You're staying a bit longer this time."
It's phrased like a question, but not really asked as one, while still sort of asking. Phillip won't force Gustavain to stay, obviously, knows there's plenty still else to do. But if he can, he is at the very least going to encourage a break, and perhaps try to convince him that his bed is the best place for him for at least a day or two, a process he starts by bending down to lay a kiss at the crook of his neck, slightly below and behind his ear.
