"No you don't. You just stand there and look pretty. That's all I ask." Phil's expression is perfectly stoic and his tone is almost bored but there's a playful sparkle in his eyes. This is his favorite way to joke. The people close to him will know he's kidding but strangers won't get it. They might really believe that Phil sees Scott as a trophy and not a person. It's fun for Phil. Doubly so when the other person is in on the joke.
The booth smells amazing and the guy is clearly popular. He lets Scott find the herbs he wants for the soup while he browses the rubs and mixes looking for ones to bring back with him. There's a Texas barbeque rub he can't say no to and one for chicken noodle soup that he chooses. He also takes the man's business card. Phil has a PO box for a reason and that is internet ordering.
Phil puts his hand on the small of Scott's back as they finish up. Outside of work he's a tactile person. With the suit off and jeans on Phil's just like anyone else. Sure, he's still one of the most dangerous people in the farmer's market but that's not the person he needs to be right now.
He needs to be a guy shopping with his significant other. They're really going to have to talk about how they want to define this relationship. Calling Scott "mine" is perfectly fine in the bedroom but in public he should be gentler.
