[Phil has been staying in his room for a multitude of reasons ever since getting back from the mission, though he does occasionally venture outside for food or fresh air. It's on one such trip out into the courtyard that he spots the newcomer apparently practicing magic; his intent is to simply watch without saying anything to break this person's concentration (and because he isn't in much of a mood for lighthearted conversation), but as Phil rolled a Nat 1 in DEX, he manages to trip over something that probably doesn't even exist as he tries to creep a little closer and stumbles forward with a startled yelp.
To his credit, he manages to catch himself before he falls over. But... busted.]
