[Once Phil has shifted around, he's just going to lift his hands to start rubbing his shoulders, searching out those spots where he knows Phil tends to carry tension. This too is an apology in a way-- for acting out like that earlier, and maybe more importantly, for not being able to do more.]

Hey, give me a little credit here. You know I wouldn't leave you alone, especially not in a situation like this.

[But Phil's next remark suddenly makes him very glad the two of them aren't face-to-face, if only because it gives him a moment to weigh his options. Option one, lie to Phil to spare him the worry, which likely wouldn't last long knowing him, and then he'd be upset over the lying. Option two... tell the truth and potentially upset him further, but give him the entire picture up front.

Option two it is.]

... normally, yeah, I'd be blaming you for this one.
