If this winds up not actually turning into anything, Phillip wouldn't necessarily mind- Gustavain clearly does need actual rest, and if somehow lulls him to sleep during this then maybe that's just as well. Besides, it's pleasing enough to just have him here, knowing what he's been through and how very nearly he could have never seen him again without knowing what happened.

He won't really try to push it further, except to keep doing it all. Each of the muscles get worked deep, try to purge all the tension from them. It is a little surprising that after all this time, all the other weapons and jobs Gustavain has taken on, that this is still where he's the most tense, but perhaps it's some proof of the past, staying with him. He shifts to really begin working at his inner thighs now, thumbs finding the muscles and working them until they're loose and relaxed.
