"Like the rest of me," he quips back, because that's true, but he's hardly being stubborn right now. Impossible to miss the soft shudder that goes through him at Phillip's "suggestion", and he'll roll to his feet with an ease Phillip hasn't seen from him in a long time, clearly more limber than previous with the work he's already done.

Once again, Gustavain's lack of any kind of cheek or sexy talking back about the order specifically, not even a "yes, sir", speaks volumes to how much he's willing to cede control of this situation right now, not even attempting the slight "protection" of seeking solace in jokes and teasing-- or at least, ones specifically about what's happening. He'll stop with the general japery and quick-wittedness when they put him in the ground and not a second before.

He sprawls out on the bed eagerly, pulling a pillow down to wrap his arms under and lay his head on and if Phillip were to walk in right now, he might think Gustavain ready to go to sleep, the way his eyes go heavy-lidded and relaxed almost immediately. But he definitely knows better.

"Like this?" he says and okay, maybe that's a little teasing, but it's mostly sweet.
