Phillip doesn't think it's near that simple, but he also was not privy to any of the conversations the fourteen had, doesn't entirely know why Azem left other than not agreeing with the plan. He wishes he did, for a number of reasons. Perhaps it wouldn't have taken as long to come to the conclusion he did, if he'd known of another plan.
"Part of being Elidibus is being at odds with the rest, when it's needed," he points out, though it's not really important, not anymore, and that likely isn't enough of an answer anyway. He isn't sure he entirely understands what Gustavain is trying to process right now, which parts are the most difficult. Admittedly, it's not helped by the fact that he is also trying to wrap his head around this and has had much less time to do so.
He still doesn't really know what to say. So instead, he just reaches out to cup Gustavain's hands in his own, giving them a slight squeeze. He can't take the weight away, and imagines the offer would be refused even if he could. But he can try to help him shoulder it, whatever that winds up meaning.
